FEDERAL law (Peaceable Journey Act) takes precedent over state law. An UNLOADED firearm, LOCKED in the trunk may be transported THROUGH any US state, so long as possession of that firearm is legal at the origin and at the destination, and the firearm STAYS in the trunk until arriving at the destination. See link at the bottom of this page to the Federal law on transport.

Can you get arrested in the state of California if there is a gun in a car that you are a passanger in that u didn't know about?

Yes, not knowing is not a legal defense. The law will treat you as an accessory. Here is an example; Let's say your friend goes into a store and robs it. You are sitting in the car and have no idea what this person is doing. He uses a gun which makes it a armed robbery. After he gets into the car he tells you what he has done. Unless you get out of the car and call the police you are an accessory to the crime that was committed. You will get jail time as well for just being there. Not knowing that there was a gun in the car is about the same thing. It is illegal to drive in CA with a gun that is not in a locked gun case, unloaded, and in the trunk of the car. The person would need a concealed weapons license for it to be legal.
