Answer

As an individual you can carry a firearm across a border with no problem. Keep it in the trunk of your car while you travel. AFAIK there are no restrictions on pistols. But you can ask any gun dealer about legalities in California.

Answer

It's legal, but regardless of the state, you have to transfer it to your own name otherwise it may appear as stolen or something else if you are stopped by the police. Please check state laws for actually carrying the firearm, as opposed to just having it.
