Not a good idea. First, you have to ensure the firearm is legal in California - major difference in state firearms laws between AZ and CA. Second, you need to keep it locked away and unloaded in California, as they do not reciprocate concealed carry permits.
In California? Be well-connected.
No, California doesn't acknowledge out of state CCWs.
You can if you want an encounter with police, criminals, etc..
Drive from Tarzana, ca to Sedona,az

You will need a lawyer unless you hold a concealed carry permit valid in AZ.
You can, but, you better have lawyer on speed dial (even if you are legal to do so)
As long as you do not have it loaded and have it in your trunk in a container, you can transport it anywhere.
No, not in AZ or anywhere else.
