With all of this hoopla over concealed carry or loaded carry in National parks... I haven't been able to find an answer to this question...
Can we UOC in state parks, or national parks here in CA?
For instances...
Joshua Tree Natl. Park?
Sequoia Natl. Park?
Yosemite Natl. Park?
Transportation of firearms to your campsite in CA is legal through 12026.2 (11)
I am a bit curious about the last part, it does not make sense to me.
There is also 12031 (l) [That's lowercase "L"] that states it is legal to possess/keep a loaded firearm in your campsite for protection.
But I can't find anything about Unloaded Open Carry in State or National parks. If I'm out hiking with the family, I would like to be secure in knowing that carrying is legal should we come across hostile wildlife.
Thanks!

Code:
(11) The transportation of a firearm by a person when going directly to, or coming directly from, a lawful camping activity for the purpose of having that firearm available for lawful personal protection while at the lawful campsite. This paragraph shall not be construed to override the statutory authority granted to the Department of Parks and Recreation or any other state or local governmental agencies to promulgate rules and regulations governing the administration of parks and campgrounds.

(l) Nothing in this section shall prevent any person from having a loaded weapon, if it is otherwise lawful, at his or her place of residence, including any temporary residence or campsite.
