If you're engaged in agricultural activities, you're usually on your property or property under your control.KD5NRH wrote: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?
I think the "commonly used" clause is to stop someone from saying they were playing basketball (a sporting activity) so they're allowed to carry a handgun. I used to buy a hunting license before I could get a CHL because there's no closed season for rabbits. I never had any trouble carrying a .357 in the woods.
