HNI christine., does your lawshave where you half to have your weapons cased after sunset? well if not ,then if they go to the 1/2 hour after sunset hunt maybe they should make a law that you have to have your weapons unloaded and in the case during non-hunting hours while afield., and when ever., i know there is alot of states that you dont need to case your gun or any weapons.,but here in minnesota we must have them unloaded and in caes during non-hunting hours and while taking afield before the 1/2 in the morning and after the 1/2 after sunset .,i know it is a pain in the butt going to and from stand while weapons in case,. but to me its safe!
