Actually, I'd like to ask a question (which doesn't come up north of the border), but...

Pretty much every state has a game law outlawing loaded guns in vehicles. Many of those same states have laws which permit use of firearms for self-defense, including concealed-carry laws and self-defense weapons in the car. Given that many handguns could be used for both sporting and hunting applications... how does it influence the law when a game warden wants to fine a guy, say carrying a loaded .44 magnum in his truck that the driver insists is fully within the law for self-protection?




Also, as regards the shooting deer out of season for "need", I would consider that a person trapped in the wilderness in a pure survival situation would be in the clear, but pretty much everyone else would be guilty. After all, a lot of non-game and varmint species are perfectly edible, and there's usually NO closed season on them....

I think that's what that guy in Wyoming who killed those two game wardens was claiming when they tried to arrest him...
