I think any unscoped pistol should be allowed. There is alot of meth labs around my areas, but I dont carry anything....

a knife is less effective than the bow you have...why is that even an option?[&:][8D]

AS uncle Ted said the other night. The 2nd amendment is my concealed carry permit andI should be able to carry anygun I want to, any time I want to, any place I want to.

If you have cougers in your area you might not want to get into a fistfight without a pistol,preforably a glock-10
Hopefully you see them before they see you
A knife may not cut the mustard

You have a bow and most likely a knife, if you can't defend yourself with those should you really be in the woods??

Why does it bother anyone else what someone chooses to carry to defend themselves? I don't understand this. What good is a bow in the dark?.....and at close range? If you can't figure that out....should you really be asking condescending questions of other sportsmen?

I could care less if someone carries a handgun in with them on a bow hunt.
