You'all stay in your states and we'll do what we have to in Cali. Since the US Govt owns just at 50% of the land mass of Cali (USFS, BLM NPS, and Military) - if we can replace a couple of anti-gun senators we may be able to bring some change? In any case, I believe it is still legal to open carry if your side arm is a back-up while hunting (with license and tags for the Zone you drew), or hand gun hunting out right. And that can go on, on a lot of the above mentioned federal lands.
These issues are mostly related to urban and suburban areas with Sheriffs who will not issue CCW permits and cities that won't allow it in the city limits anyway. Since the whole of the legislature, courts and governors office are all controlled by the Dems, a lot of the sheriffs are either currying favor with them, or are Dems too (read leaning anti-gun).
Balance is not something we have right now. Balance is a long way away. But, we'll see how this goes? Better you'all watch from the sidelines than try to get into the fight. And for a lot of us, moving ain't an option (family, land, jobs,etc.) - although my cousin did move to Wyo
But, even if you think about that (?), there's a state with maybe the population of the SF Bay Area. I still say it's about density and the politicians fear of an armed conflict between civilians like WATTs on steroids.
