That is storage.
If you are present it is not storage and it's under your supervision and it can be loaded and sitting in your tent.
[QUOTE]As far as i can tell it can not be in the gun! Like Gatehouse say if you are lawfully hunting./QUOTE]
You dont' have to be hunting to have a loaded firearm in your possession. You just ned to be somewhere that it is legal to discharge a firearm.
Especially in known bear country, I would be sleeping with my finger Crazy Glued to the safety.

Yes..but when you sleep you are not attending, so it must be unloaded?Quote:

I will continue to sleep in my tent in bear country with a loaded 12ga shot gun, or 300 win mag!! Any predator who is interested in snackin on me will get an unpleasent surprise!! Moosin
if is not legal ill take the fine
If you are dead, you can't pay the fine!
I've not had a bear situation, but have had a cougar try to launch off a cutbank onto my horse and me....even with my saddle gun loaded but on safety, it took what seemed forever to get it out of the scabbard and the safety off....if I had to load it as well, triple the time. second incident, a large doberman attacked my horse, trying to grab it by the throat. I kept spinning the horse around while trying to get the same rifle out of the scabbard and reload it. I was only able to get one shell into the breach within a minute. By this time my horse had received several nasty scratches on it's neck. The owner finally called the dog off when he saw me take aim. To this day I wish I had left that gun loaded because I sure would have had the time to shoot that menace....I keep thinking if it had been a youngster riding along, what would have happened.
Illegal or not, your personal safety comes first, in my opinion, as I first stated...If you're dead, you can't pay the fine!
after the brambles incident, i'd probably have 3 in the mag...but i feel pretty safe in my camper!
