Try reading PC 12025 and PC 12031. The operative part here is weather or not it is concealed. 12025 states specifically that a firearm carried openly exposed upon a belt holster is not considered to be concealed under the meaning of the section. 12031 speaks to carrying a loaded gun.
Take CCW instructors advice on this... don't cut the law into little pieces and take only the sections you like!
Carrying a loaded gun, exposed, on your belt, in an area wherein shooting your gun is otherwise lawful, is the general practice here in the Kern, Tulare county areas for fishermen and hiker...even if you don't have a ccw ( and lots of people do here). This practice however generally freaks out the nature lovers from south of the Tehachapi curtain....and those with a ccw generally carry concealed. I have often seen people carrying in campsites and while fishing in creeks.
Getting in your vehicle with your loaded firearm (a round attached to the firearm in any manner whatsoever) is an invitation to an introduction to the Kern County Justice system....
