It is not legal to carry where it is not legal to shoot. So if you got anywhere within 150yds of a camp, developed area, occupied area, or building, you would be carrying illegally. That is the peril, you may be somewhere prohibited from shooting and not know it.
Read that whole sticky thread, it discusses various scenarios that may apply. It seems that unless you are well and truly in the deep boonies away from everyone and everything, carry without CCW is a peril. I would not be open carrying on a well travelled trail.
Your best bet is to have CCW.
And note, there is no ‘license to own a firearm’ in CA.
