A ccw does not count as a "Hunting Instrument." And is perfectly legal to carry. That's why it's worded that way.


I never knew of this law until I was checked by a game warden while carrying a shotgun and an 8" barreled 44mag revolver. Thankfully, he let me off with a warning as long as I promised to choose on or the other when I got back to my truck. ( I had just started police academy and I was sweating bullets worrying I had messed up my career choice before getting a chance to even start it...) But, I was let off with a warning.


Again, a ccw is perfectly legal. Key word is "hunting instrument"
