Too bad, with all the concealed guns, we don't read that often where one was used to take down a shooter. The problem is you can't bring one into a large gathering such as a club which defeats the NRA position of protecting with a firearm. The venue neutualizes anyone from protecting the crowd.

The requirement for a concealed weapon in California is basically the same as Alabama...

Normally it's a crime to carry either a loaded or an unloaded firearm in public in California. It doesn't matter whether you are carrying a concealed firearm or one that is openly carried.

Unless you have a CCW permit, publicly carrying a gun in California is against the law... period.

But you may be issued a permit to carry "a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person" if:

1. You are of good moral character;
2. Good cause exists for issuance of the license because you or a member of your family is in immediate danger;
3. You meet certain residency requirements; and
4. You have completed an acceptable course of firearms training.

Under the recently enacted AB 2103, the training course must be a minimum of 8 hours and include live-fire shooting exercises where the person demonstrates an ability tio handle and shoot the gun safely.
