Bow season starts tomorrow and I am unsure on the rule of carrying a hand gun with me. I have a lifetime personal protection permit so am I allowed to cary one with me while i am bow hunting?

Not sure but check the law out here.

You can carry a handgun as long as you have a license to carry. I also have a lifetime permit and always carry. Years ago it was not allowed.

a friend and i also have our lifetime carry permits and we will both be carrying (open) come tomorrow morning!
