Quick question... I plan on doing some backpacking this summer... I'm only 20 though so no CCW yet. Is it ok to carry a handgun in a backpack, be it in a case or not?
If you're gonna tell a ranger/warden in california that your handgun is for hunting you'd damn well better have a 6" barrel or your trip might include a few nights stay in a very bad hotelI suggest you also buy a Calif. Hunting License. Just in case some badge heavy Ranger who did not know the law decided to hassle you.
An accquaintence of mine got some court time for having a 1911 in his pack on a trip. His friend broke his leg and when rangers came to help and asked if he had first aid he told them it was in his pack. They found the first aid and the pistol. last I heard he was looking at 6 months and felony charges for conceal carry. Open carry is your best bet. In the pack would be useless anyway, you'd have to have it locked and unloaded (including mags).Quick question... I plan on doing some backpacking this summer... I'm only 20 though so no CCW yet.

a bottle of Weller's 107 or wild turkey 101 (put it in plastic if available). This stuff is flammable, you can run a zippo off it (evaporates quickly, don't put in more than you need), it's an excellent antiseptic and numbing agent. It can also make you a lot more comfortable if it gets cold.
Caimlas, you did mean an "extra speedloader" for that revolver, rather than an "extra clip" for it, didn't you???
