No. In Indiana it is illegal while bowhunting, even if it were I wouldn't.

Possesion of a handgun during the commission of a crime is a felony = loss of gun ownership. I'm sorry, I'll keep my gun rights and live to fight the theif(ves) another time; like when they arrive at their vehicle and POOFF the radiator seems to have blown-up!

Once I'm out of the woods in this scenario, my bow goes in the truck and I'm packing then. Bet ya I'm there before they can get the deer taken care of. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Shoot often - Hunt always
