I guess I should have taken pictures! But my Full Size Springfield 1911-A1 followed me all over Madera and Mariposa Counties the past few days...
Gotta work on open carry in Texas!

You can carry concealed in CA without a permit when traveling to and from hunting, and while hunting. You can also carry concealed without a permit, off your own property when going to the aid of another, such as if your neighbor is being assaulted and you go to help them.
None of the above will prevent you being charged, keep that in mind, but that's the law and is a "positive defense".
