Misdemeanor if it's your firearm.

Felony if it's not.

Although I'll await smarter folk to correct me

Misdemeanor Carrying a Loaded Firearm................Only if you have sharp legal counsel, or are an Illegal Alien.

Funny thing is I don't have a gun yet even but my wife and I have been talking about it and the more I think about it the more ticked off I get. If a woman is an accomplished gun handler but can not get a Concealed license it's pretty jacked up. My wife was reading in here that a Lot of women carry that don't have licenses that jog, I don't blame them.

You're likely going to be hit with 2 misdemeanors, first for violation of 12025 (concealed without a license), and second for violation of 12031 (loaded). One of those gets bumped up to felony status if the handgun isn't registered to you.

Exactly.

12025 (b) Carrying a concealed firearm in violation of this section
is punishable, as follows:
…
(6) By imprisonment in the state prison, or by imprisonment in a
county jail not to exceed one year, by a fine not to exceed one
thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment
if both of the following conditions are met:
(A) Both the pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of
being concealed upon the person and the unexpended ammunition
capable of being discharged from that firearm are either in
the immediate possession of the person or readily accessible to
that person, or the pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable
of being concealed upon the person is loaded as defined in subdivision
(g) of Section 12031.
(B) The person is not listed with the Department of Justice pursuant
to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 11106, as the registered
owner of that pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being
concealed upon the person.
(7) In all cases other than those specified in paragraphs (1) to (6),
inclusive, by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year,
by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that
imprisonment and fine.

That's for folks with no prior record, of course.
