When is it legally permissible to carry a concealed firearm in public in California without a permit?

  1. While hunting

  2. In self-defense situations

  3. Never

  4. When the firearm is unloaded

The correct answer is: Never

Under California law, it is only legal to carry a concealed firearm in public with a valid concealed carry permit. Hunting is not a valid reason for carrying a concealed firearm without a permit. While self-defense is a valid reason, it must still be done with a valid permit. Carrying an unloaded firearm does not change the legality of carrying a concealed firearm without a permit. Therefore, the only correct answer is "Never."
