I know of plenty of folks who hunt with SA pistols. I've read plenty of Stephen A. Camp's articles where he mentions hunting hogs with a 9mm Hi-Power. Nonetheless, distinguishing a revolver from a pistol by virtue of its action is not an appropriate standard to apply here. Both are quite capable of doing the job, and both offer relatively equal ranges of power.KD5NRH wrote:[TXI beat me to posting part of my comment, so I'll cut down to the rest]
Keeping it out of sight to comply with 46.02 might save him having to convince a judge of the destination, but technically he's still going there for "other sporting activity."
OTOH, the "commonly used in the activity" part bugs me; it seems I could legally open carry a scoped BFR in .45-70 to the land for deer, but I might be guilty of UCW if I did the same to hunt rodents. Since very few handgun hunters use semiautos, would my Blackhawk be OK, but not my 1911? How common is common? Also, why only "sporting activity," since a .45LC/.410 snake pistol is fairly common for certain agricultural activities?
