How is taking away the right to carry an unloaded firearm "laying out the red carpet" for criminals? Its not like an unloaded gun is any kind of deterrent or useful in stopping any crime. If you can't carry the firearm loaded legally then you might as well not be carrying it, its going to reduce the number of MWAG calls at least. CC Permits are going to vary by county from what I understand. Where my parents live (In the country, very conservative elected officials) it is not unreasonable for a business owner who makes cash deposits on a regular basis to be fairly easily granted a CC permit by the local authorities. Los Angeles is another story though... impossible to carry there unless you are LEO. Their CC permit system is the red carpet, its among the reasons I move out of California and into Texas.
