Yes i do about twice a year when i go camping, becuse we have this funny law in NC ,
about firearms on gamelands, which the campground i happen to love is on a game land
Weapons
It is unlawful to discharge any weapon:
?? - from a vehicle,
- within 150 yards of any residence located on or adjacent to
game lands,
- within 150 yards of any game lands building or game lands
camping area (unless otherwise posted).
The 150-yard provision of this rule does not apply to the use of
archery equipment on Butner-Falls of Neuse and Jordan game lands.
It is unlawful to possess a rifle or pistol larger than .22 rimfire or
a shotgun shell with larger than no. 4 shot during closed gun
seasons on big game?except any size steel or other nontoxic
shot may be used while waterfowl or coyote hunting.
During turkey season, it is unlawful to possess a rifle on game
lands, but bow-and-arrow may be used.
During closed seasons and closed hunting days on game birds
(waterfowl, doves, wood cock, snipe, rails, gallinules, moorhens,
coots, grouse, pheasant, quail, turkey) and game animals (deer, bear,
fox, rabbits, squirrels, boar, bobcats, opossum, raccoon), it is
unlawful to possess any firearm or bow and arrow readily avail -
able for use. During that time in which fox season is the only open
season for a game animal, it is also unlawful to possess these
weapons. The following exceptions, however, should be noted:
- Possession is allowed on field-trial and designated target shoot -
ing areas and in camping areas for defense of person or property.
- 22-caliber pistols with barrels, not greater than 7.5 inches in
length and shooting only short, long or long rifle ammunition,
may be carried as side arms on game lands at any time, except
by hunters during the special bow-and-arrow and muzzle -
loading firearms deer hunting season.
- Individuals training dogs during closed season without fieldtrial
authorization are prohibited from carrying any weapon.
I Hate it but it's the law.
