possession on or in a park or public access land is a felony. unless it is

This happened during the Bassmasters Classic last year -
during practice, I guess since Klein was alone.

Actually, this happened on the final day of competition.

Strange - the article says there were no witnesses - I figured on the last day
there would be camera boats following - Klein was in second place, I think -
and I know each fisherman has an observer in the boat with him during
competition.

is
your property you have no right to carry a fire arm. The few Concealed
permits that are given are just that concealed. If they are exposed for
any
reason other than life threatening conditions you can still be arrested.

Something doesn't seem right about the story. Not saying that it didnt
happen, But doesnt seem right.

Hmmmm..... I must not understand then. I thought it was legal to wear a
sidearm in non-incorporated areas in Ca.

Seems the guy was upset about boats running by his place on the bayou
and all his neighbors supported him. What do you think about this?

Unless Shotgun Boy (and his neighbors) own the lake and access to it,
tough. Cowboy up and realize you have a camp on the shoreline. But
I'll
admit it's a fine line. I don't mind a boat going by in front of my
camp
at a reasonable distance from shore. But close up?...I'd appreciate a
slow speed and no profanity, whether youngsters are around or not.


In California, you can wear a gun in unincorporated areas. You can have a
shotgun or pistol in the car, but the gun has to be cased and maybe only the
handgun in a locked case (softcase is OK). You can carry a gun in your
boat, otherwise the duck hunting in the Sac Delta would be hard to
accomplish. That said, maybe the guy was POed about all the bass fisherman
traveling 70 mph in a 5 mph no wake zone. Been out fishing the delta when
the fog is so thick you can only see 50' and hear some bassboat guy
traveling 40-50 mph. If he kills himself is sad for his family, but the
problem is the take out some innocent person. Just because you drive a
Bullet, does not mean you have to run WOT at all times.

Maybe Klein was the a-hole here (no-wake, speeding, etc). It sounds like
the guy was on his own property.
If so, I don't know what ordinance he would have violated.

Prosecutors in LA announced today they were dropping charges against a man
arrested for firing a shotgun in the air as Gary Klein went by in his bass
boat. Seems there were no witnesses and no physical evidence so they are
dropping the charges. This happened during the Bassmasters Classic last
year -
during practice, I guess since Klein was alone.

It's got nothing to do with CA law. The LA in question is Louisianna.

Klein gets shot at & you think he might be the a-hole??? "no-wake,
speeding, etc" gets you shot at where you live? If so, please let me know
where you live...so I can stay the you-know-what away!

There was most definately a camera man in GK's boat Ronnie (according to
Bassmaster & BASS Times, as well as ESPN's Classic coverage), in fact on the
return trip he filmed the guy as they went by.

Ohhhh, that makes a bit more sence... As for wearing a sidearm in the un
incorperated area I wouldnt try it in the areas I lived in unless you owned
the land you were on. Merced and Mariposa arent too friendly on that.
But I can say it is easier to get a firearm in Ca than in IL where I live
now.
