• Introduced by Sen. Valde Garcia (R) on February 26, 2003, to clarify that the law which requires a hunting license to carry a gun where game animals are present does not prohibit a “carry concealed weapon” (CCW) permit holder from carrying a weapon in the field without a hunting license. The bill does not authorize actually taking game without a hunting license, however.
