Why 508 is being targeted to be defeated? Abusing power is a crime, no? Imposing a fine and defining it is something good, no?

All what we need is the following 3 words after Displaying, " in a threatening manner"
And add to definition, a holstered handgun is a not considered a "display in a threatening manner"

Voila, open carry is legal.

Yes, but depending upon the circumstances it could be justified under the Penal Code 9 statutes.

It was already legal.

Case #2 was technically not legal if you are not on your premises or premises under your control. The host could have open carried but not his guests.

Case 1:
Verbal argument between a CHLer and another person. CHLer removes a his concealment to "get ready for a fight". That is display calculated to alarm.
Case 2:
At a BBQ, in private residence back yard, I do open carry my BBQ pistol in a holster. After September 1st 2013, it is legal.

What happened:
To the open carry for CHLers as an option?
Or
To the failure to conceal clarification?
