Sportsman Firearm Permit

**Ricochet** · April 1st, 2010, 06:52 PM

(Yes, I searched before posting this question

)

Has anyone found a clear answer if you can OC while driving TO and FROM a fishing spot if you have your fishing license and the Sportsman Firearm Permit?

I will be getting my LTCF in two months, so I know I will be good to go once I get that.

But I want to stay within in the law until then.

Thanks!

However...........there are some restrictions that go along with the exception!

Those are; you must also have a valid hunting, fishing or trapping license. You must be doing one of those activities; actually hunting, fishing or trapping. Or......you must be going to or coming from those places where you hunted, fished or trapped.

Yes, I read that also.
But it didnt specify that going and coming from fishing hunting or trapping inside a vehicle.

Hell, they could just mean walking back to a cabin or campsite.

I wouldn't put it past a left wing DA to make that argument.

Also IAW the hunting regs it has to be UNLOADED when you have it on in the car. Unless you have a reg carry permit.

That is long guns, and a LTCF has no bearing......
