Yeah you got the right to bear arms, but not in all situations.
Wow you sound like a liberal trying to take away my guns, welcome to the forum Jim Zumbo. In caseyou dont remeber or never heard about the Jim Zumbo fiasco. He basically said assualt rifles have no purpose in hunting, and basically had the same position as you do on guns.

But as a side note, what the heck does ANY Hoosier need a pistol for in the woods? There is absolutely NOTHING in any part of Indiana that is going to threaten their lives in the woods, unless it's a person, and you can take them out with a well placed broadhead anyway. I can see this being a sensible rule in states with bear and mountain lion populations, but INDIANA??? We have NOTHING threatening here...

Here in Utah if you have a CCW permit then you can carry while you are bowhunting. I dont see the problem with carry a pistol when bowhunting. Anybody that is going to poach will do it no matter what the rules say.
