No, I don' t have a concealed weapons permit. It' s premise/target. I don' t necessarily have to conceal it; I could carry in a visible holster. That' s what the confusion is. It will be obvious to anyone, that I will be using a rifle to hunt. I think the real question is, can I only carry a " leagal hunting handgun" , while I' m out in the field actually hunting? Again, this is private property. As far as I know, there' s nothing illegal about me carrying a " visibly displayed" handgun on my property on any given day. It' s carrying it while hunting, that is the question. Not a big deal, no law enforcement would be coming onto this property, but just in case of anything, I' d rather be leagal. This question has been raised amongst friend before. Some say I can, while others say I can' t. Thanks for all the help.
