Is that correct?


That's my understanding for L.A. county. However, please remember you can only conceal folding knives. A switch blade, spring opener, etc., are not permitted to be carried at all in public or in your car. A fixed blade can be carried openly, but I would not recommend the invitation for hassling from the cops.

As you seem to be aware, L.A. county and other local jurisdictions have ordinances that conflict with state laws. It's not simple at all, but your plan of action works for all California jurisdictions as far as I know.
