It is unlawful to carry a loaded rifle, shotgun, or handgun in any public place or on any public street in an incorporated area or an area where firing a firearm is prohibited.

  Exceptions include:

    Persons shooting on target ranges, or while hunting on the premises of a shooting club.

    A person "engaged in the act of making or attempting lawful arrest."

    A person carrying a firearm while at home or at his place of business, including temporary residences and CAMPSITES.

Carrying a handgun concealed is prohibited without a license. The law states "Firearms carried openly in belt holsters are not concealed within the meaning of this section."

Carrying a handgun concealed within a vehicle is prohibited without a license. A handgun carried in a glove compartment or under the seat of a vehicle is considered to be concealed. A handgun placed in the trunk of an automobile, or locked in a container in the vehicle other than the utility or glove compartment or while in a locked container carried directly to or from a vehicle is deemed not to be "concealed." A locked container means a fully enclosed secure container locked by a key lock or similar locking device.

Exceptions to this prohibition are:

    Members of clubs organized for practice shooting while on any established target range or going to and from such range.

    Licensed hunters and fishermen while engaged in hunting or fishing and while going to or from such hunting or fishing expeditions and members of an antique or historical collector's club while at a show, or while going to and from a display as long as the weapons are locked in a trunk or are in a locked container.

I read it and see your understanding of the exception but trust me, if you are pulled over and you do not have your pistol in a locked container, you are going to be talking to a judge.

And most places you go to camp prohibite firearms... I still take my pistola everywhere I go.

Maybe that would fly in Texas, but in Californistan, your definitely gonna be talking to a judge. However, I believe it is a good idea to pack some heat while camping. When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away. Guns, I'd rather be caught with one, than without one.
