Thread: 1 Licensed Hunter, Two Rifles?

@jpurdon
The first paragraph of this page states what @deer243 has said, bar the one rifle per license part.

The info on the DOC page is very poorly written, first part of statement says you need a FAL to apply for a hunting permit, further on it states you don't need a license to apply if you are hunting possums, (doesn't specify trapping). Or if you are under the supervision of a LFAO.
Every person hunting needs a hunting permit.

The part regarding one rifle seems to me to be covered on pg 42 of the arms code, although still offers some ambiguity in it's wording.

quote " Immediate supervision
No matter how old you are, if you do not have a firearms
licence but want to use a firearm, you may do so only
under the immediate supervision of someone who has
a firearms licence. In other words, the person with the
licence must be with the shooter, and close enough to take
control of the firearm if necessary. To meet this requirement
the supervisor cannot be using a firearm at the same time.
Generally, this means that there will be only one firearm
between the two people. " end quote
