Default Ny handgun question

Is it legal for someone that has a conceal/carry permit to have a hangun afield during bow season? If not, Is it legal to have your sidearm on you during turkey season in NY? Just curious.

NY =illegal while bowhunting.

Another oddball note, during the late muzzle/bow season a person hunting with a bow can not be accompanied by a person hunting with a muzzleloader or vice versa in any way, even dragging the deer.

It's your right.. Don't ask just do it I say.. I actually did before they even past the law here in Pa. The thing though, You have to have confidence that your constitutional rights are correct. For if you question them,You are afraid of them.. You have to be as strong as the constitution to live by it.. The weak will allways loose... The ammendments are only for the brave I do have to say.. If you bow down to someone who says they have authority over them.. You lose your rights then.. Don't ever bow down and allways be strong for your freedoms are protected only if you protect them... Some might disagree but they are the weak who are afraid of freedom...

No and No.

When hunting think if the animal you are after can be taken with a handgun. If no like a turkey,duck,phesant,grouse or deer durring a muzzle loader or bow season then you can't have a pistol with you.

When I checked into it I was told that it didn't matter if the pistol was your primary weapong or secondary. Think about this. Your squirrel hunting with a shotgun. You see a turkey which is open season now and shoot it. You get stopped and they see a pistol on your side. You can still recieve a ticket even though you didn't use it.

Plus you may loose your pistol permit. Here in NY we have to have a permit just to own or even hold one in the store.

Like I said.. Only the brave can live by the constitution without fear to defend it.. No jury will convict you for your 2nd to protect yourself no matter what..It is the law.. Can anyone show me where a citizen carried a hand gun while hunting along with a bow or other weapon ever been convicted by a jury??
You show me an article and I will show you a bench full of anti americans who did the convition.. You will not be found guilty. Like I said, Only the brave can live by the constitution to fight for their freedoms...
