[pct-l] The weapons question

[Fuzz McPherson]

I do believe that's right, from what little I've glanced over the proposal and from what I've seen previously.  It allows for concealed carrying of a weapon without further permit, I believe.

Realistically, if a bear comes to attack you, or some "entrepreneur" in the woods who is "guarding" "his" pot growing land, and you use a pistol that was on your hip in a holster, or had been in a "concealed" location like say a pouch on the side of your pack, ...  I don't think the law is gonna come after you to take away your birthday in either case.  "Bad boys, bad boys!  Whatcha gonna do!?  Whatcha gonna do when they come for you!???!"

lol

I don't think this is about hunting. I think this is about concealed
carry. That would mean personal defense weapons.

If I am found in a national park with a loaded .38 caliber pistol, I
don't think anyone will think I have been hunting.
