I had a conversation with a game warden in the skagit valley about the  no rifles or pistols. I asked him about huntign with a savage model 24 f 22lr 20 ga and about the CC pistol thing. His responce was this. Don't have rifle ammo on you, and do SHOOT your pistol. That rule banning those items is for safty and to reduce target shooting in those areas.  :twocents: Hope that helps.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Exactly
The signs should read No discharge of Rifles or Hanguns or No Target Shooting. The state knows it they just do not care because no one calls them on it.
 There are people who would ague that you could carry a rifle for self defense. I am not one of those people. State gun laws do not specify what firearm you can carry for self defense.
I am not sure where he gets the ammo thing because I know of no law that says you cannot have rifle ammo. There are some special restrictions for fir island.

Any how who wants to carry a rifle? That is another day and another thread.

carry on :tup: :twocents:

Fir Island is in a firearms restricted area.  :twocents: Don't think 22lr applies tho.

Why in the world would you need a handgun for self defense from tweakers when you are holding a 12 guage in your hands? :dunno:

Maybe the area has a shell restriction and when your shotty is empty from blasting ducks you got no rounds left?

I was asking a question based on rationality and logic.  It really had nothing to do with Constitutionality of any form.

Whatever floats your boat man.

Personally if the area I wanted to hunt was known for tweakers, I would be looking for another place to hunt if possible. If there were no other viable places to hunt within a reasonable distance though I would certainly carry a handgun.

If I ended up in a situation where I had to fire on an attacker, you can bet I would use the shotgun first. I don't have a lot of confidence that 3 shots of #4 steel shot would be all that effective against a person, or that I would be able to reload a shotgun if I was being attacked though. My shotgun also tends to jam or mis-feed far more often than my handgun. Having a handgun as a backup weapon doesn't seem at all unreasonable to me.  :twocents:

If you can't get the job done with three rounds of #4 steel, I doubt the handgun is going to be of any appreciable help.

Well this is how I view it.

I get up early, I get to the parking lots early. Many times I am the only person around for some time. My shogun is not loaded because it is hours before shooting time. My handgun is always loaded on my hip.

I unload my gear and dog and head out to a spot. You never know what or who is around. Some guy wants your truck, your shotgun, your wallet.

Just read any paper or watch the news. You will get all the justification anyone needs to carry.

I load my shotgun minutes before shooting time and unload as soon as I am finished hunting.  When I reach my rig all I have is my handgun to depend on.

So to sum up for the OP
You can carry a handgun for self defense any time you are hunting any where in the State of Washington. Except into federal buildings.

Are you an attorney????
Its illegal to give legal advice unless you are.

BTW..................your statements are wrong.

.
Actually, you are the one that is wrong.

If you think you can carry anytime you hunt in Washington except a federal building you are are the ont that is wrong. Plenty of places you do not have the right to carry but do your own research so you dont end up in jail.
