http://www.dfg.ca.gov/news/Question: If I am hunting for big game with a rifle, is it legal to also carry a handgun equipped with a flashlight/laser-lite combo? The handgun would only be a sidearm for safety.
Answer: Yes, it is legal as long as the handgun is not used to assist in the taking of big game.
