What a horseshit law!
One of the many reasons I left SoCali for North Florida.
The article does not contain enough information to make a sound judgement. Diane Feinstein has a carry permit. I bet she could walk through the airport with her handgun and not get arrested.
The law is in many instances written around what you are carrying not what you intend to do with it, unless you are Diane Feinstein or someone who is connected.
In the first half of the 1900s most people were prosecuted because of what they did and what they intended to do. Now the people are being arrested because of what they possess or how they defended themselves.
Our state governments, MD in my situation, all too often protect the criminals and arrest those who would defend themselves against the criminals. They call us vigilantes.
Wow! I know I could never live in CA.
