I have a question about hunting with a handgun. (Specifically during deer season--firearm, antlered and antlerless.)
I know a small-arms permit is required in addition to the standard permitand the firearm must be .357 or greater for straight-walled cartridges, and .24 or greater for bottleneck cartridges.
Several co-workers that hunt are insisting that if you carry a handgun (with a small-arms permit), that you CANNOT carry a rifle as well. In other words, you cannot carry a handgun and a rifle at the same time during gun season for deer. They say that the only exception in if you have a CCW and you are carrying the handgun for self-defense--and in this case, the hangun cannot be used for hunting purposes.
. I have been unable to find anything in the state hunting regulations about this, but the guys I work with are being quite vocal about it, insisting that you cannot carry more then one firearm when hunting, even on private property.
Anyone have any insight on this ?
