The Sportsman Permit is a, well, permit to allow you to CONCEAL or transport a "firearm" to/from/during hunting, fishing, trapping, or dog training.

If you walk from your home to your hunting location while carrying openly, no LTCF or SP is required. The only purpose of the SP is to provide a means to conceal/transport, because those are the regulated acts.
Very nice, thank you.
