I am retired from the job and this is what I do when bow hunting in n.y.s.
I totalbreak-down my auto leave the bullets in the truck ;I just hate to leave my hand gun in the truck while hunting.I was stopped last year while hunting in DEP land ,The ECO did stop and started talking with me and did notice the FOP sticker in the window and he did ask if i was on the job I did explain i am retired and
he did ask if i had a off duty with me .
I did explain how or what i do with my auto and I feel uneasy leaving my hand gun in the truck:He did say it was a god idea and he had no problems with it,nice guy I never had any run in with ECO in n.y.s.
I did at one time have a problem with one in PA. in Wayne county when I had my place in pleasant mount.I was not the only guy who had runs in with him lot of people in that area had problems with him
