Me and my Dad are planning a Canoe trip in the Adirondack Forest in september. My question is this: What is the legality of carying a firearm there? I was thinking of carying my Vaquero, as it is fairly PC and I have some really good .300grain XTP Loads for it- Figure that would take care of anything I my come across. My Dad is very Anti-Gun, so I don't want to bring anything conspicuous, like a rifle. I have gotten into the habit of never going anywhere without some sort of protection, so I don't think I'll start now.
The only other Handgun I have is a 9mm. Sig copy (TZ-99) with gold dot +P's. I don't know if that would be as effective if I were to get into trouble with a large animal. Reloading would be quicker though.
Chances are, I won't need it, but I'd rather not need it and have it, than need it and not have it.
Thanks,[>:/]
