Hiking in California

[stix213]

Pretty much wherever you're allowed to shoot you're allowed to loaded open carry. Though because of what is already mentioned about spooking the anti-gun granola eaters I generally go the route of having it unloaded in a locked case. The case being a front pouch with a combo lock 1 digit off.

Here's the official thread on the topic (yeah its complicated)

Thank you for all your help.

My other question to this is that I have a Springfield XDS 45 that does not have a manual safety. Is this a problem in California? It only holds 7 rounds in the magazine.

It is fine. The only potential problem would be if you added a threaded barrel.
