Is carrying a loaded firearm a felony under section 12031(a)(2)(C) of the California Criminal Code?

"[W]e construe section 12031(a)(2)(C)'s phrase 'active participant in a criminal street gang, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 186.22' as referring to the substantive gang offense defined in section 186.22(a). We pointed out earlier that contrary to what section 12031(a)(2)(C) says, section 186.22(a) does not at all define the phrase 'active participant in a criminal street gang.' Instead, section 186.22(a) defines a substantive gang offense, setting forth the elements of that offense. Thus, carrying a loaded firearm in public becomes a felony under section 12031(a)(2)(C) when a defendant satisfies the elements of the offense described in section 186.22(a). Those elements are 'actively participat[ing] in any criminal street gang with knowledge that its members engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity' and 'willfully promot[ing], further[ing], or assist[ing] in any felonious criminal conduct by members of that gang.' ( 186.22(a).)" (People v. Robles, supra, 23 Cal.4th at p. 1115.)
