Obviously I don't "need" a "bear" gun in LA, (not that it's anyone's business thank you very much 2nd Amendment) but if I live here and hunt elsewhere....
I want to take my dogs out in the wilds of Alaska or the Rockies. Go salmon fishing etc. Except I don't want to compete with the bears. So...in case I run into one, I want to come out alive.
Anyone else do this type of thing?

Huge differences state-to-state. In some ways, California has stricter laws than Canada does (actually, maybe in all ways). I believe most of the midwestern and southern states have more lax gun laws, and the coastal states (with the densest populations) and north-eastern states tend to have stricter ones. Alaska's gun laws are actually decently strict as well (compared to Texas or whatnot anyway).
You'd have to obey the gun laws of both states if you were to own said gun. You need to obey the laws in California, as that is where it would be stored and from where it would be transported, as well as the gun laws in, say, Alaska, where it would be used. You could likely rent a gun or buy a relatively cheap on in whichever state you were to use it in, and then sell it or return it at the end of your trip. This would allow you to avoid the issues of California law.
