Re: Carrying while hunting
I'm missing something here, your saying the PGC officer is ignornat because you can't carry a handgun (any handgun) while archery hunting and you can't carry a semi-auto while hunting with a rifle or shotgun?
He's right, because you currently can't!
And currently CCW laws do not over ride hunting laws, so yes, you could have been cited for hunting with an illegal weapon, your 44spl. Its not ignorant grandstanding, its him knowing the law and you didn't.
Small Game/Regulations
Arms & Ammunition
1) Manually operated and autoloading shotguns with a capacity of no more than 3 shells in the chamber and magazine combined; 2) Manually operated rifles and handguns less than 23 caliber.................
You might want to brush up on your legal research.
And as far as me being "touchy", try again. The only thing I'm touchy about is people posting things they know nothing about, but claim they do. maybe people should READ the hunting laws so that they know what they can and cannot do instead of talking trash about the PGC.
