Your in his house. Respect if you cant do that fish Irvine lake.

X2 get a bigger boat if you're that worried.

It's funny how someone asks if you can carry and more than half the people here just give reasons why you shouldn't or don't need to. The question is if you can, not why would you need to. In other free states it's not even a question, it's a right and in fact common place. This state used to be that way too but the anti's here are brainwashing people into believing that guns are evil and they don't need to carry, and alot of people believe they don't even have the right.

I didn't get any "anti" firearm vibe with this thread, maybe some questioning the logic of carrying and discharging a firearm in a plastic boat, seems like pretty typical gun talk.
Of course you can carry a concealed firearm on your kayak or anywhere else with the proper permit. Can you prove to the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction that you need one? Perhaps that's the question the OP should be asking.

....etc....etc....

I'm just saying there are places rifles and shotguns don't necessarily belong.

Got it

You're more likely to need a lightning rod or a defibrillator before needing to defend against a shark.

Yea I agree but carrying a sawed off shotgun on the yak is a bit extreme, id hate to have to clean that thing after saltwater exposure all day. Cleaning a gun that has been covered in salt water is deff no fun

[easyday]

Now some people on here will argue with me on this but I do carry a paintball gun a little c02 powered one to deal with the seals while hooping but thats a total different subject

There is an exemption in the Ca PC that allows you to carry without a license while hunting and fishing, but you will also be subject to local laws and regulations.

A better place to start your search is over at CalGuns http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=271156

Yep, once on the water (public), it's 100% legal. I don't leave the house without one of mine. But I would be much more worried about land sharks, than those in the water.

Dude if you're afraid enough to carry a gun on a kayak then maybe you need a new "safe" hobby.

If a shark wants you to die, you will die, before you even realize what happened.

This just in:

A kayak fisherman bled to death off the coast of La Jolla after shooting himself in the leg. According to his fishing buddies the man was attempting to shoot a large opah swimming below his kayak which he mistook for a shark.......

[Fishwhisperer619]

I've only seen an opah once but I don't know how anyone can confuse one for a shark. I think he was just fooling around or pulled a plaxico

If not I was thinking about maybe buying a shark shield. What are your ideas? I thought by buying a hobie proangler I was going to be more safe, but I been hearing the peddles look like flippers in the water.

Seen plenty of sharks in my time kayak fishing and surfing in San Diego county and Baja, never even considered hauling a gun around. If a shark big enough to eat you decides to do so, it will be over before you know what hit you. When you paddle out in the ocean you take your chances in any number of ways, if you don't want to risk it, stay on shore. Probably drop the gun over the side anyways.
I do carry a sidearm when camping while kayak fishing in the Cascade Mountains because the fish smell attracts bears and cougars. Don't want to kill them but a couple rounds usually scares them off. Does that count?

Only predators I worry about are bipedal.

Hmmm now I know there was an exception for hunting and fishing. So technically speaking you could conceal legally while fishing from the pier, as long as you unloaded it before heading to the car.

There is an exception to most everything: It is not legal to be in possession of a firearm while bow hunting during the bow season.
