Concealed carry while squirrel hunting .

[Cam126]

I have a carry permit and carry a 40 SW anytime I'm not at work , is this allowed while hunting a wma ?

 

[Revived]

Yes. With a permit, you are allowed to carry on a WMA.

 

[C.Killmaster]

Yes. With a permit, you are allowed to carry on a WMA.

You don't need the permit anymore as long as you are eligible for it; 21+ years old, not a convicted felon, etc.

Do any WMAs lie on or incorporate any Corps of Engineers property?
If so, has the COE loosened its restrictions on firearms?

 

[blackbear]

Carters Lake,Allatoona wma maybe?

 

[Railroader]

But don't shoot an "incidental" hog with the .40...Gotta use small-game-legal weapons.

Is Georgia an open carry state?

See post #3.

See post #3.

Ok I wasn't sure if he was implying that because it's hunting season. I'm in TN and we have open carry wasn't sure about Georgia.

I be toting a KelTec 22 magnum if I’m in the woods.

IF you already have a gun then why would you need to carry a pistol? lol

Not that I have anything against it, I just don't understand the premise or reason to carry extra weight?

Pretty sure I can handle ANY threat with my ruger 10/22. lol

Don't say that. Some folks might take that the wrong way and that will be ALL we can have.

Maybe getting in and out of your truck for starters ?

 

[Mark R]

Tote it while you can . I am sure they want to be like canada as soon as possible

 

[Mars]

Sure a 22 can kill an attacker but will it kill them before they kill you. Self defense is all about how fast can the attacker be incapacitated.

Personally, my ccw is like my wallet, keys, phone, etc. It's included with the usual items I take when I leave the house no matter what activities are planned.

Because it is his right to carry it, and no one has the right to question him as to why. As a hunter and American, who are you to question this?

This right here.

Secondary question… now that the state has OK concealed carry without a permit, do you still need a carry permit carry on WMA ? What about on NF?
EDIT...Read back and saw Mr. Kilmaster's answer above. I would imagine this carries over to national forest and AT...

I wonder about that since the con carry bill came into effect
