Concealed Carry While Waterfowl Hunting

[Bullkllr]

  I'd like to what the exact rules are also.

That said, I simply can't imagine being in a situation while hunting where I would not feel safe with only a shotgun.

If I were in that situation, I see two alternatives:
1)find a new place to hunt, or
2) carry a handgun if I feel the need, even if the rules are fuzzy

I've never been frisked by a wildlife agent. Does this happen?

My point is this. OP asked can he carry while waterfowl hunting?   YES
Someone else posted you could not carry on a Wildlife Refuge. Not True

Game laws do not override state Carry Laws.

If you want an attorney than you are asking in the wrong place.

So if someone thinks this is not true than lets see a cite.
I posted two cites from two different refuges.

I like to learn new stuff, lets see it.

The questions of the OP have been ansewed. Maybe we need another thread?

Game laws do not override state Carry Laws.

They certainly can.  As you'll recall, it was only a few years ago that you could not carry a firearm while you were bow hunting.  Some states still  have that law.

And that was corrected because 2 state laws contradicted themselves.

Yep and they were forced to change it because Game laws cannot overide State carry laws.
I did make some assumtions here.
1. That we were talking about washington State.

What happens when you find the tweakers in your truck?

Are you going to draw on them and kill them?

kind of a cynical question let me ask you what would you do if some tweekers are trying to jack your stuff out in the wilderness no cops around?wait for them to get done?

I wasn't intended to be cynical, I think it is a fair question. 

A gun is of no value in a confrontation with a person unless you intend to kill them.

So same question for you, are you willing to kill someone for breaking into your rig? 

It isn't critical or cynical, I am curious though how you would handle a car theft situation?

If the answer is " with deadly force" i would not suggest saying it. WA does not allow deadly force in the case of protection or loss of property.

excellent question.
are your material possessions worth someone's life?

Well for me I am not going to ever draw unless my person is in danger. If they are screwing with my truck I am calling the cops and being a witness.

I carry for one reason mine or my family's protection. The truck is insured.

if you are saying it on this thread then you allready did the research on it so show us where you got this info you are talking about then, so we dont have to do what you allready did.

we are still waiting for some wac or reg number that you are going by when you say we cant carry in areas that we hunt.and this is for anyone that says you cant carry in certain hunting areas.if your saying it and arguing it you should have something by now i would think.        not anyone particular just someone that says you cant.

They are not going to post because there is no law in this state prohibiting carry for self defense while hunting.

[KFhunter]

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.

Ned is right if you want to go beyond the scope of this thread, there are plenty of places other than Federal buildings where you cannot carry.
Inside a school is the 1st example that popped into my head. 

Still doesn't have much relevance to this thread.

I responded to the OP questions which directly indicated Waterfowl hunting.
Not school,or bars, or court rooms. No one I know hunts in those areas.

If the Op wished to know every where he could not carry ,there are far better forums to ask on than this one.
Open carry.org. Washington would be just one.

Lets put it to bed. This thread is dead.
 

Besides I am about to have some fun with the Northeasties on the Kettle Falls Thread.
