Reply #94: The laws in California are a little odd.

One may carry openly, without a permit, as long as the firearm is unloaded. You can carry loaded magazines (for semi-autos) or speed loaders/moon clips (for revolvers) as long as they are not attached to the firearm. i.e., they may be worn on the opposite hip. Legal in both incorperated and unincorperated areas.

One may openly carry a loaded firearm without a permit in unicorperated areas.

Concealment (edit: and/or loaded carry) of any kind requires a permit issued by the Sherrifs office, and is "may issue". This means that in many areas of Cali, you don't get a permit unless you give appropriate legal bribes, or are of high enough standing politically or socially.

Permission to exercise Civil Rights should never be left to the authority of a political figurehead.
