Busted by the game warden a couple of weeks back on my own land for driving a tractor with a loaded gun.I was told by the game warden that the reason it is illegal to have a loaded gun while driving a motor vehicle of any type on private or public land is because of safety...I drove my tractor up the hill about 200' from my house to my cousins camping trailer a ,I no sooner got off of my tractor and I heard a vehicle pull in behind me then I seen it was the game warden and he asked if my gun was loaded and I say...yes....and he proceeds to give me my citation.I appear before the magistrate and my fine was $173.00 dollars of which $153 went to court costs...which is ludicrous when all I did was tell her what happened and I agreed to pay,a couple minutes and I was out of there. The magistrate was very kind ...she told she did not know what I had done was illegal and asked me who give me the ticket...and I told here and she just shook her head and mumbled the game wardens name under her breath.
