    is it common to bring a handgun hunting

    just wondering how common it is for people to bring a restricted handgun while they are camping.

    its illegal, but i heard its fairly common to do because you never know what could come running at you in the middle of the night or in the middle of the day while your rifle is not ready to fire.

    With all the game checks COs do, I'd say it's a risky proposition.

    No, never have I taken the .44 mag out with me hunting, but it sure would be nice. Some of the areas I hunt, during the fall, with bow, or muzzleloader, I will see a couple Gbears every day. Not much one can do, when you pee one of them off at 10 yards and all you got is a musket, but consider yourself really lucky your not packin the bow. Be Aware, Be Beary Aware, thats all you got on your side. YA OUR GUN LAWS SUCK, and do nothing for our preservation of life.

    You do so at your own risk and if you've got a good camp rifle like a lever 45/70 or a shotgun with slugs I see no need carrying a hand gun, plus it's against the law to have a hand gun in the woods without a permit.

    Yes it is illegal to take a restricted firearm (pistol/revolver, rifle, shotgun) into the bush.

    Winchester Defender pistol grip, next best thing to a hand gun and packs WAY more of a punch!

    I'm willing to bet it's more common that one thinks
