In La, you can only carry a 22 with ratshot while bowhunting. This year I bought a Buckmark
and carry it with me for any project out in the woods. My family protection is a Beretta Cougar in 40,
but I never take that in the woods. Here's a pic of the Beretta (now I think sold as a Stoeger for less $$$):
The Buckmark is a fun gun to shoot and pretty accurate for a pistol. I'm debating whether
to take it with me bowhunting (with ratshot), but it's just more stuff to have to get up in
the stand and keep track of so I probably won't.
I don't think a CC permit overrides the game laws, but I'm not sure about that.
