In fact, from further reading it seems that 12026.2 refers to instances where YOU'RE NOT USING A CAR AT ALL. If all you had was 12026.1, and you wanted to take your gun over to your friend's house across the street, you'd have to walk it to your car, then from your car to your friend's house.
Because 12026.1 only addresses carrying to/from the car and while in the car (or other motor vehicle), people need the exemptions of 12026.2 when they're transporting a gun NOT in a car.
