Fresno is cheaper in everything as compared to other northern california cities but however keep in mind that fresno is mostly farming area and most of the time you will see either farmers or ppls in transportation line. There are like more than 10 gurdwaras in that city :D .. I have no idea whats the need of that many gurdwaras in fresno.

Sacramento is nice and i would encourage you to look at Elk Grove City (lies in sacramento county). I moved to elk grove in 2000 and it was like a small ghost town but very well organized, lots of trees, parks, new school etc.. Now that city is one of the top city in everything. Bradshaw Gurdwara sahib is not very far from here (about 10 miles). Rocklin, roseville, granite bay they are all good cities (about 12 to 15 miles north of sacramento).

Hope that helps

yes but at the same time its no.. If you are asking.. "Will you be stopped/arrested if you wear kirpan open (outside wear) in public"... then my answer will be YES (anywhere in united states). However the case/charge will be dropped and your sri sahib will be returned no matter which state you are in.

You can wear kirpan in california public school but it has to be glued all over. You can wear kirpan or any knife legally but blade has to be less than 5 inch.

However there are cities like "Stockton" where mayor adopted the resolution of the acceptance of sikh kirpan.

I wear my sri sahib on the outside (a lot of us do) and we live in TEXAS! and we never get stopped. Or arrested.

Maybe Texas state law permits it residents to carry knife (in their defination) but somehow i think thats most likely not possible. Is there any rule/law that you can share with us that protects us wearing kirpan?

Nope, not in this state! Here they take their weapons quite seriously, and you have to have a license to carry a concealed weapon.

There is some sort of statute that states that you can have in plain sight as long as its less than 5 inches, but our 10 inch ones dont fit that rule at all.

Funny thing is, we walk in plain sight of state troopers and county sheriffs, but we never get in trouble. It is, after all, our 1st amendment right.

I cannot say anything about samagams as i don't go to any and i don't think there are any sikhi based camps happening often in california.

They usually have a few camps throughout the year in the bay area, and there's also the annual Jakara conference.

Tons of akj samagams in the bay area! And there's also the annual Yuba City Nagar Kirtan.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
