When is it legal to carry a concealed firearm without a permit in California?

In public places with low crime rates
On your own property or in your place of business
In a vehicle if the firearm is visible
At public gatherings for self-defense

The correct answer is: On your own property or in your place of business

In California, it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm without a permit in most public places. This includes public streets, buildings, and parks. Option A may seem like a viable answer, but the legality of carrying a concealed firearm also depends on the specific city or county's laws and regulations. Option C is also incorrect because California law requires all firearms to be transported in a locked container when in a vehicle. Option D may also seem like a possibility, but carrying a concealed firearm at public gatherings is illegal in California unless you have a valid concealed carry permit. Option B is the only choice that accurately reflects when it is legal to carry a concealed firearm without a permit in California - on your own property or in your place of business. It is important to always research and follow local and state laws before carrying a firearm.
