Basically that approach is to allow the carrying of a concealed handgun by person's possessing a concealed handgun license across all types of hunting. The concealed handgun is for self-protection purposes only and shall not be used in the taking of game. The Division proposal calls for the administrative code and rule changes to be effective for the fall deer hunting seasons.
