Urban areas, difficult. Rural areas less so. California is a "may" issue state that does not provide reciprocity to CCW holders from other states even though those states usually provide it for CA bearers. You are also extremely limited in what guns you can buy there and the size of magazines available.

This may help you. Frequently Asked Questions | State of California - Department of Justice - Kamala D. Harris Attorney General

For L.A. and Venice check with the L.A. County Sheriff. For San Diego check with that county sheriff.

I don't get this ....it seems to be a contradiction... What firearms are Legal in California?

I am moving to California. What CAN'T I bring with me?

New residents may bring almost anything except: "Assault Weapons" Machine Guns Suppressors (silencers) Short Barreled Rifles or Shotguns (SBR/SBS) Destructive Devices Magazines that hold more than 10 rounds

Are there "sunset" provisions in any of California's gun laws (large capacity magazine ban, safe handgun roster, assault weapons ban, etc)?

No.

Can I bring a handgun into California if it isn't on the Safe Handgun roster?

Yes. The Handgun Roster refers to handguns dealers may sell – it has no effect on what you may own.

I should hope no private citizen has assault weapons. I respect the American Constitution to bear arms, but where does one draw the line?

I am very pro-conceal carry. One of the reasons why the LA was a 'maybe not'.

However, I also feel that the qualifying process should be very rigorous. Someone should not be able to own or carry a dangerous weapon unless they have been psych. evaluated, and pass other requirements.

But, hey...

...that's just me.

LA County issues very few (read zero, for all practical intents and purposes) concealed weapons permits.

Your best resources will be:
