BLM land sign.. hunting allowed, target practice prohibited.

In California, at Hogs Flat (which has a BLMsign in front of it) it says that hunting is allowed but targetshooting is prohibited. Just curious, would open carry be legal loaded in such a place?

I always open carry loaded on BLM land, it has always been during the regular shotgun turkey or Rifle Deer seasons. I have been stopped a few time by wardens to check for a plug in my shotgun and the capicity of my rifle. Never have they even asked me if my sidearm was loaded.


I would assume the fact that you can dischage a firearm for hunting puposes makes loaded open carry legal. The actual discharge of firearms is not prohibited. Only discharging firearms soley for target shooting purposes.

Just curious, but did the sign have any bullet holes in it?

Nope.I have seen a lot of shot up "no shooting" signs in the past though.
