If your a game warden what's the policy for carry a loaded gun while at your camp site during hunting season?

I am not an expert...but, if you are talking about California...
Look up the penal code...I believe it says that you can have a firearm at your home, business and campsite. So, the way I read it....as long as you bring it in...in a legal method...you can then have a firearm. State law should trump any county ordinance. Of course, if any others on here that have a different interpretation of that...please write in.
And per the penal code...if I am not wrong...says that you can carry a handgun while fishing. I am in no way an expert in gun laws. So, don't take this as any legal advice.

Side note...I know that if you are archery hunting...which I do...you can not have a gun with you during a hunt.

The master thread on firearms while camping is maintained here.
Very good info in it. If you have more specific questions you could send a PM to the author of that thread.
