Talk:Friend Richardson

Untitled
One of the five best governors of California, and sadly one of the most obscure. In addition to the basic facts laid out in the main article, I would add that he and his wife's Quaker beliefs would not allow them to have servants at the Governor's Mansion. He ran a classic, conservative, "no-frills" administration during his four years, frequently vetoing measures that would increase spending. His efforts left a $20 million surplus in the state treasury. Bob McArthur (talk) 20:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If you've got a cite, please add it; thanks in advance. (Obviously, as a left-wing Quaker, I would disagree about your assessment of his administration, which steadily veered rightward, even though he was originally a Progressive.) -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There's something about that portrait makes me think "Real American". Someone who fights for the rights of every man. That's how I'll remember him, now that I know he existed. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:06, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Alien gun law
The 1923 law which Richardson signed that prohibited the possession of concealable arms by non-citizens was overturned in People v. Rappard (1972). The provision was subsequently removed from the California Penal Code (Section 12021). Tmangray (talk) 06:50, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
