According to the California Penal Code § 12050:
Where the population of the county is less than 200,000 persons the licensing authority may issue a license to carry a pistol, revolver or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, loaded and exposed.
Counties where such a license may be issued (as of July 1, 2000):
-Alpine
-Calaveras
-Colusa
-Del Norte
-El Dorado
-Glenn
-Humboldt
-Imperial
-Inyo
-Kings
-Lake
-Lassen
-Madera
-Mariposa
-Mendocino
-Modoc
-Mono
-Napa
-Nevada
-Plumas
-San Benito
-Shasta
-Siskyou
-Sutter
-Tuolumne
-Yolo
-Yuba
In other words, most counties in California (the population tends to concentrate around major metropolitan areas). Butte county, at present time, exceeds the minimum population requirement, although I would argue that few people in Butte county feel any great need to openly carry a pistol, revolver or other firearm capable of being conceal upon their person (exactly what fits into this catagory, is basically everything).
Then again, here in the city of Chico, where it is a criminal offense, punishable by a $500 fine, to detonate within the city limits, either directly or indirectly, any type of nuclear (but not thermonuclear) device, maybe people showing off their Colts in public should be the least of our worries. I really doubt that a fine of $500 is gonna stop the Reds (by which, I mean North Korea). Of course, that assumes they can get their bombs over here that we would need to stop them. Given that North Korea's current nuclear delivery system consists of 48 men and a fleet of 10 beat-up taxi cabs, seven motorbikes, 23 scooters, six rickshaws (five of which are missing wheels) and one ox-powered cart (without ox), I don't think we have much to worry about. Especially since the entire method of moving these warheads requires pushing them downhill and hoping their vehicle doesn't tip over, hit a tree, become stuck in the mud or otherwise be rendered unable to move.
Pakistan has a similar system, except that the presence of petrolum-based fuel in that region allows them to actually power the vehicles, eliminating the need for a steep hill.
India's ballistic delivery system is far more advanced, utilizing a telescope and a giant slingshot. Recently, security has been tightened up in light of evidence that Pakistan may be developing their own slingshots (telescopes remain a far off dream).
Iran's proposed system involves strapping a rocket to the warhead, strapping the warhead to your penis and then riding it across the desert into the intended target, in mimicry of Slim Pickens. This is by far the most hardcore and also the most idiotic system ever conceived.
Spain is launching a new delivery system in which warheads will be cleverly disguised as charging bulls. It is not yet known how they will keep these bulls from targeting Spanish matadors.
Japan's current nuclear weapons program is limited to Godzilla. Destruction of expansions to this system by Godzilla ensure that he will maintain his monopoly for a number of years.
The ballistic missile systems employed by China and Russia are considerably more advanced, able to reach any location in the world. It has been determined that of all the missiles launched, about half will reach their intended targets, while the other half will turn around and hit the silo they left from.
The systems used by the United States (and it's allies, mainly Great Britain) are the second-most advanced. A full three-quarters of the missiles launched will hit their intended targets. To ensure that these missiles will reach their targets, they will be calibrated using the remain quarter, which will consequently all be launched at either France or Quebec; it is only known that they will land on another planet that few people will miss much.
The most advanced weapon system the world, indeed the universe, has ever seen, however, rests firmly in the hands of the Vatican. This weapon is, of course, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Provided the guy throwing it does not forget to count to three (and definitely not five), it ensures that in any global conflict, the Vatican will come out on top after Switzerland, which is currently planning to build a giant shield to protect the entire country, composed entirely of banks entirely made from chocolate, from blast, heat, radiation and fallout, all of which would melt or otherwise entirely ruin the entire country made entirely of banks entirely made of chocolate.
Note: The infomation above not be accurate, but should be considered completely factual as there is currently no evidence to the contrary.
Note: Attempting to display, state, publish or otherwise make known evidence to the contrary will render the make-knowner as targeted for termination. The Governor of California will thus be sent back in time to ensure the make-knowner never attempts to display, state, publish or otherwise make known evidence to the contrary. Results may vary.
Note: The above note may be not factual.
Note: Please stand by. This entry is currently experiencing minor Godzilla-related technical difficulties. This issue will be resolved as soon as the Japan Self-Defense Force rebuilds Mecha Godzilla.
