Draftcarrying-and-transportation

Penal Code section 25400 addresses concealed carriage of a pistol, revolver or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, including specified circumstances involving a vehicle. [1] The definition of the conduct and the chapter’s exceptions are separate legal subjects; section 25610 supplies one provision with specific person, purpose and transportation conditions. [2] A description of concealment alone therefore does not determine the application of the entire statutory scheme to an individual or location. [1][2]
