DOJ Called Me Today...

[ElkHunterSL]

Today I received a call from the DOJ. When I purchased my XD back in May I was curious about gun rights related to Hunting and Fishing.

I had emailed the DOJ questions regarding CC as it relates to going to and coming from Fishing/Hunting.

I guess they were finally getting through the backlog of emails and called me.

The lady at DOJ basically told me that in a vehicle on the way to and from fishing/hunting I cannot CC. That I need to abide by the regular laws related to locking up my gun, etc.

She said while engaged in hunting I could CC but if I was finishing my hunt and heading back to my car or back to my camp I could not CC. That once I got back to camp I could CC again.

So basically what I got from her info was this scenario:

1. Fishing/hunting - Get out of my car or campsite. UOC until I get to my fishing/hunting hole, then I can CC. Once done, I must UOC as I walk back to my car or campsite.

FUD or the Truth? I would think that if I'm in the woods I can CC the entire time, even if I"m walking back to camp.

Excuse me, how long ago did you e-mail them? They are quite backed up I e-mailed them too.

[ElkHunterSL]

The day I got my gun. Maybe 4 weeks ago.

[CavTrooper]

[G17GUY]

I've emailed DOJ twice and got a response in 1-2 weeks each time.

They're idiots though.

And the reason they are calling instead of responding by email is so that there is no paper trail and they have complete deniability.

This

Yep, ask Allison about putting stuff on DOJ letter head

I thought you could LOC anywhere that you can shoot on blm or national forest land?

[ElkHunterSL]

Yes, LOC, but what about Loaded Conceal Carry?

[Paradiddle]

Yes, LOC, but what about Loaded Conceal Carry?

I don't know the answer but why woulnd't you just LOC when hunting? Seems that if you need your handgun while in the field you are in some type of trouble and that drawing from cover would be slower then drawing from an exposed holster.

I know my IPDA draw is slower then my IPSC draw.

When I hunt I use a Rifle, but I want my handgun as a backup. And I usually wear a jacket so the gun would be concealed underneath the jacket.

but it would appear ok as long as you are not within an incorporated city or in a prohibited area of unincorporated territory.

Do they have a color for that on a map?
