Good morning Keith,

Can I add one additional question beings you’re a former law enforcement officer from California: if a person without a Cal CCL properly transports a firearm and then wares it CC in a Church “without” a school present, is there a penal code preventing him from doing so? If so, could you point me to that penal code. I know this isn’t my situation at the moment, but it helps me understand all the different limitations on this subject.

Thanks for your help

In California, carrying a concealed firearm without a CCW is illegal under Penal Code § 25400, regardless of location, including a church without a school present. Properly transporting a firearm (unloaded, in a locked container) is allowed under Penal Code § 25610, but concealed carry on your person without a permit violates the law. Let me know if you need further clarification!
