I wonder if I'll be stopped if I walk into a bank with
my compound bow slung around my shoulder?
And is the hand-held cross-bow I have under the seat
in my Jeep a concealed weapon?
I'm pretty sure I can't take my throwing hatchets on
the plane with me...but I can pack them as long as
they are unloaded I guess.
