This is an excellent thread. I just need some clarification on one thing though. I go hiking/backpacking up in Desolation a lot, and once had a rather uncomfortable encounter with a mountain lion, so I figure that carrying a sidearm would be prudent in case I am seen as a menu item next time. So from what I have gathered from this thread, keeping a sidearm inside my backpack (loaded or unloaded, doesnt matter) constitutes concealed carry. But if I keep it on the outside it is open and legal. Is this correct?

I understand the rules for open carry, but am uneasy about carrying openly for fear of startling other hikers I may run into. Not to mention that hiking 10-20 miles with a 1911 on my side would be uncomfortable... (yeah I know, plastic gun fans enter your comments here)
