LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1912, as amended, Hadwick.
 Deer: archery season: concealed firearms.

Existing law establishes an archery season for the taking of deer with bow and arrow. Existing law generally prohibits a person taking or attempting to take deer during that archery season from carrying, or having under their immediate control, a firearm of any kind, except for an active or honorably retired peace officer, as specified.

This bill would instead authorize any person to carry a firearm capable of being concealed on their person while engaging in taking or attempting to take a deer with a bow and arrow, as specified. repeal that prohibition.
