Couple of KY reg ?'s....

Hi Russ, I don't know of any regulation regarding your archery equipment down there on LBL property. So you should be fine using this equipment. Don't know LBL's regulation for carring sidearms though, but think your CCW should suffice any requirements. I haven't hunted LBL since the late 1970's.

Thanks guys. I suppose the LBL would be about as safe a place to go unarmed as I can think of...restricted access/getaway routes, rural, and probably pretty low on roaming packs of semi-feral dogs, or other non-human predators.

To be honest, I don't carry as often as I probably should even around here, so it won't cost me any sleep to be "naked" while hunting.

I'd feel better if I had the Ruger with me on the trip to the area and back, though.

I'll check on the definition of "possession" and see if having it locked and cased, empty, hidden in the truck would be good.

That would leave me the option of loading it and having it more readily available to me during the drive each way.

Starting to feel more vulnerable without it when driving around alone with my white whiskers and out-of-state plates showing.
