To transport firearms in CA, they need to be unloaded and in a locked container (or have a cable lock through the chamber). The locked container cannot be the glove box, center console, or other utility box. https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/travel#:~:text=Pursuant%20to%20California%20Penal% 20Code,or%20in%20a%20locked%20container.

To me, this looks like, if the gun is concealed on your passenger's person, you would most likely not be criminally liable, but would most likely give PC to have your vehicle searched if stopped, and if the LEO discovered the gun.

If it was in the car, and not on your passenger's person, I think you are more liable (responsible) for the transportation of it, as it's your car and you're driving it.

I agree with the above and you need to understand what I put in bold. Don't get legal advise from a person of unknown expertise on the internet.

I have seen a case where someone driving was stopped and the passenger had illegal drugs. In that one instance, the LEO said if the passenger will admit that they didn't tell the drive and accept responsibility the driver wasn't arrested.

As with many times with traffic stops, it depends on the LEO and how you act. Start acting like a triggered jerk and the LEO will look for something to pin on you.
