BC30cal, are you permitted to carry a handgun while hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, or camping? In Florida, you don't even need a license to do that.
Hawkeye; Good afternoon again.
No we're not permitted to use handguns anywhere other than at an approved range. They're required to be unloaded, trigger or cable locked and in a locked container when transported to and from the range.
There are or better said were a few wilderness guides who applied for and received carry permits when guiding, but they were hit and miss to obtain at best.
It's yet another vexing issue stemming from having rules made by people who have no concept of what it's like in the wilderness or even in rural areas for that matter. Worse still, they've no inclination to learn.
Anyways, that's what we deal with up here and no, it's not palatable or equitable.
