I don't hunt. I was just shooting.
Since you bring up other states (you still haven't made your case) in CT you have to have a concealed carry license (I do) to transport a firearm anywhere unless it was to a gun shop, from a gun shop, or to a recognized shooting event (which was defined as at least three people meeting at a specified place and time). When I took my concealed carry class it covered both Missouri and Kansas so I think your information is a bit out of date. However, this event (where it occurred) happened over a two decades ago. No, it couldn't be Louisiana. Anything goes down there. Florida? No, I had a CCW when I lived there. Oh, where could it be???
But what does this have to do with the OP? Thought I would try to keep us on track.
