Firstly Cal. only allows open carry in unincorporated areas, WHERE county law doesn't restrict. So that is like in two counties outside of city limits; enjoy your open carry.
Not quite.
Absent a municipal or county code prohibiting open carry one can openly carry a legally owned/possessed and unloaded firearm most anywhere in the state. It is unlawful to carry a LOADED firearm within an incorporated city or a prohibited area of an unincorporated zone. Unloaded, open carry is permitted absent some local ordinance prohibiting it (ordinances which may, or may not, stand up to legal challenge).
12031. (a) (1) A person is guilty of carrying a loaded firearm when
he or she carries a loaded firearm on his or her person or in a
vehicle while in any public place or on any public street in an
incorporated city or in any public place or on any public street in a
prohibited area of unincorporated territory.
