There are CCW laws in place in California. I had one. You need to show a "compelling reason". Doctor, store owner, pharmecuitcal rep carrying drug samples, jeweler, private investigator (me), etc...the CCW's are dished-out on the local level (Sheriff).

If you live in San Francisco, though...forget it. Only Dianne Feinstein and a handful of other folks there have 'em. Los Angeles is pretty impossible too. However, if you live in a rural County (wink, wink) and receive a CCW there, you are allowed to travel statewide with the permit.
Here in FLA we can carry in our car as long as the weapon is in a holster and "not readily accessible" (wink, wink). Inside a glove-box (un-locked) is considered "not readily accessible"!
We also have very lienent CCW laws. As long as you are not a convicted felon or under the order of a court for domestic violence or mental illness, you can apply for and will receive a CCW permit. Unlike California, I can carry ANYTHING that's legal to own. Feel like carrying a .44 Magnum on Monday, .380 PPK on Tuesday and a .45 1911 on Wed? No problem. In California, you can only carry the gun that's listed on your permit.
No open carry in Texas? When did that change? I thought they were one of the states that had open carry (and open carry of long guns in a vehicle...i.e. gun rack)?!?
Oh...ironically, California does have a non-permitted "open carry" law!
