Has this been pursued before? I'm probably going to bring this up with Rep. Dill before next session to see what can be done.

Again I find this language in the 2009 Hunting Regs

"The “Concealed carry or permit to carry” provisions apply to certain hunting activities. Persons with a permit under this law generally
may carry their handguns uncased and loaded while hunting, and while traveling to or from hunting locations by motor vehicle under the hunting firearms transportation laws. However, possession of the handgun while 'shining' or while hunting deer by archery would still subject the possessor to the provisions of these laws"

Quote:
97B.211 HUNTING BIG GAME BY ARCHERY.
Subdivision 1.Possession of firearms prohibited.

A person may not take deer by archery while in possession of a firearm.

97A.015 DEFINITIONS.
...

Subd. 19.Firearm.
"Firearm" means a gun that discharges shot or a projectile by means of an explosive, a gas, or compressed air.

...
Subd. 26.Hunting.
"Hunting" means taking birds or mammals.

It just makes no sense to me. What could the purpose possibly be of not allowing law abiding citizens to carry under their permit while hunting deer by archery?

So I can carry always except when actually "taking" the animal? huh?

So with a permit a person can carry anywhere in the state except Federal buildings, ..., and oh yea while "taking" a deer during archery season? I am having a real hard time finding any logic in this.

Isn't poaching illegal by definition regardless of what you are carrying on you?

I'm sure Dill will be glad to propose some legislation that will allow you to carry your gun while archery hunting as long as you aren't in the seven county metro area or near a town of at least 2500 people that may or may not decide to ban the activity and it's up to you to know the ordnance.
