Hi, I am too a new pistol owner in California and have several question regarding open carry/general carry
I already read the flyer before
I am looking for a legal way to carry my firearm and able to defend myself while driving a car.
so are the following carry methods legal?
- unloaded pistol in leg/belt holster
- unloaded pistol on the front seat
- unloaded pistol in an unlocked carrying case in the front seat
- unloaded pistol in a holster "attached" to the vehicle
if I wear a jacket/coat in the winter, will that make belt holster a "concealed" weapon?
Am I allowed to carry firearms into a national park in California? (e.g Yosemite)
and if any of you can give me some recommendation on drop-leg holster for standard XD 9mm? the holster comes with the weapon doesn't fit into my belt.
Thanks.
I can answer some of these question.
Read pc 626.9 regarding Gun Free School Zones
You can't UOC a handgun within 1000 ft of a K thru 12 school. You can carry in the gun free school zone using a locked container or if you have a carry license Not an unlocked container.
Driving with your weapon in an unlocked container would be concealed. Lock the container and you're good to go.
If your coat covers you weapon, thats concealed. You need a carry license for that.
Welcome to the forum.
This is not legal advice, as I am not a lawyer.
