eins, hope this helps:
"w/regards to guns, there is no california state
law which prohibits you from carrying around a
legal loaded or unloaded firearm. a 'legal' gun
is one that has not been prohibited. prohibited
guns include banned assault weapons, shotguns
w/barrels less than 18 inches long, etc. [refer to
to the penal code for detailed lists of illegal guns].
although i did say that there is no state law which
prohibits the carrying of legal firearms, there may be
municipal codes and county ordinances which prohibit
this activity.
to show you how screwed up the law is, the possession
of a concealed dirk or dagger is a felony punishable
by one year in state prison; however, the possession
of a concealed loaded pistol is a misdemeanor punishable
by up to one year in county jail.
why? two words: gun lobby."
