It is pretty simple to keep from having weed and guns in the car at the same time on federal government land. I just saw a huge bear yesterday and will start toting my .270 in case I can get him. He has been terrorizing 3 properties I know of in my area. I have to have any food in a bear proof box. The bear comes anyway then gets angry and tears up my camp. He tears up the compost for my composting toilet ($39 per bag) and I can't leave bags of soil for more than a couple of days or he will tear them up. He will even tear open cans of soda. If I see him I will drop him.

I keep weed at my property (CA) so I don't have to travel through the national forest (feds) with guns and weed. Behind the gate on my property I have a medical license and never get near 100 plants so there is no federal crime taking place.

It is turkey season now so I have been riding with my shotgun handy and I plan to carry my .270 in case I see that darn bear again. I have a good pellet gun (Gammo Big Cat 1200fps) but that would just piss a bear off.
