Actually, the prohibition against carrying while engaged in any activity covered by the Game Code titles, was placed in there with the cooperation of the PGC (whether they'll admit it or not).It was included in the "language" when the new concealed carry regs were enacted several years ago, to specifically prohibit carry while engaged in certainhunting activities.

Some of uslobbied long and hard to ditch those restrictions, since it was my feeling that if they trusted us to be out in public with a concealed weapon, then could darn well trust us to be spotlighting or bow hunting with the same, self defense weapon.

The changes went into effect some time ago. Anyone holding a License To Carry (and LE officers), can now be in possession of a concealed handgun while engaged in any activity covered under the Game Code. That includes spotlighting,archery hunting, etc.
