Illegal here in Iowa also, so no I don' t. The game wardens in this part of the country carry guns and will also take you to jail and take your gun as well. I have a concealed weapons permit but the game laws specifically state I can' t carry it while bowhunting. I' ve no problem with that. I feel secure with my bow and arrows. Besides, there is legislation trying to make it a felony to carry a weapon (handgun) without a permit. If convicted, I' d lose my right to vote and also lose my right to legally own a firearm.
