CDFG

Question: I am a person who does everything by the book and I have a question regarding sidearms while hunting. Is it legal to carry a sidearm for protection while upland game bird and/or small game hunting or is it considered a method of take and illegal? If it is legal, does the lead-free ammunition restriction apply when in the condor range?

Answer: Yes, it is legal to carry a sidearm for protection while upland game bird and/or small game hunting as long as you don't use it to take the game. If hunting in condor country, the ammunition for your sidearm must be lead-free.
