I think a lot of it comes down to: do you want to spend your day doing what you went there to do, OR proving to someone who doesn't know shart from shinola that you are right and waste precious time and give yourself stress. that's up to you. who's the bigger fool? the fool who doesn't know or the one that argues with one?

Wow. . . Just wow

So today at work a wildlife officer came in. I asked him about open carry in wma.
He started telling me about a law they passed. The statute number ended in 44 or 45... I really don't remember. I meant to write it down. I have seen him before, so if I see him again I will ask.
Anyway the law states if you are camping, hunting, or on your way to camping and/or hunting you are allowed to open carry.
He went on to tell me how people have taken advantage of this. He said there was a guy who walked into a CVS pharmacy with a rifle slung around him.
Naturally the store freaked out and called the cops. It was a scene he said, but at the end of the day, because of the technicality of the law and the fact that he was able to prove he was on his way to hunting he was not arrested.

I would recommend it and honestly I don't plan to open carry even in a wma til I can find the law.
But crazy if true

I had a run in with some indian cops once and that law came up in the conversation. It was hard to argue with me considering I had my rhino on the back of the truck, was in camo and it was opening day of turkey season.
