Open firearm carry is now illegal in CA, thanks to CA anti-gun legislators and the governor.

Any form of concealment of a firearm on your person, in a case, bag, backpack, etc, makes it 'concealed carry' subject to having a CCW.

Other 'weapons' are subject to their own rules for carry, concealment, blade length, etc.
