This area not as rural as I expected.

What’s a good defense against mountain lions in suburban California, if hiking, etc... in these areas?

An increase in mountain lion attacks on pets and livestock in California is mirrored by requests for permits to kill mountain lions.

the number of permit requests to kill mountain lions is rising, especially in far Northern California and on the Central Coast. 256 permits were issued in 2015 (up from 216 in 2014),

If you can’t have a gun see if bear spray is legal for your area.

An excellent choice would be a walking stick with a stun gun carried by Bass Pro. However, since it is California, may not be allowed :(
