There are millions of new firearms owners that do not know any better, and many of them did not grow up around guns. Some people really think that a gun can magically go off, especially if dropped (some can but most modern firearms have multiple safeties built in to prevent this). A lot of these people gained their knowledge of guns from watching movies or shows
As for people keeping magazines unloaded, there’s a myth out there that keeping mags loaded will damage the springs, that’s the most likely reasoning I can think of.
The legal battle after a defensive shooting is one that can be overlooked by many. The LEO instructor teaching my ccw class had to go through one. In a state like Cali I can only imagine how much worse it is. If you get good CCW insurance they should be able to cover you though as long as your shooting (it can also apply to other forms of self defense without a firearm though) was justified. USCCA and CCW Safe are some of the 2 big ones

Laws are so fucked in california that I'm probably better off getting killed than I am legitimately defending my life
