    population under 250,000 per county- open carry legal

    I read somewhere that open carry is legal or was legal in Ca when the county population is less than 250,000 people. Can anyone comment?

    Not true.

    In counties where the population is under 200 K, a sheriff may issue a license to carry openly, good only in that county. PC 26150 (b)(2). There seems to be none of this kind of license active.

    A number of those counties have areas where it is legal to shoot - and in those places, it is legal to open carry. That usually excludes cities and towns.

      Only place outside of YouTube I've seen someone open carrying a handgun was back in '08 or '09 in Markleeville, the unincorporated county seat of Alpine County. About 1,200 people in the whole county.

        That's true. According to state law but the county can still prohibit it. I don't of any county where people practice open carry.

          What is true? The OP's statement? No, that is NOT true. Open carry without a license is in no way contingent on the population of a county.
