besides people who have CCW, are not the ones that will break the law (ie using a pistol to shoot a deer on an archery tag).

I'll second that.

Then, there is the no carrying while operating a snow mobile!?!?

Good question. I was told by a CO that since that rule is under the game laws that it only applies if engaged in hunting activities.

That provision is not in the Game Law, it is in the Rules of the Road at section 60-6,342. And, the first violation is a Class III misdemeanor (60-6,343).

Ok, so he was wrong about the exact section it falls under...but that still doesn't negate the fact that one of the elements of the crime is that you must be engaged in hunting. Read the title of the offense. If you are not engaged in hunting, you are not violating this section. Also, Chapter 60 is not "Rules of the Road", it is the motor vehicle section.
60-6,342. Snowmobiles; carrying firearms; hunting; unlawful.
It shall be unlawful for any person to shoot, take, hunt, or kill or attempt to shoot, take, hunt, or kill any wild animal or bird from or with a snowmobile or for any person to carry or possess any shotgun or rimfire rifle while operating or riding on a snowmobile, or for any person to carry or possess any firearm, bow and arrow, or other projectile device on a snowmobile unless such bow and arrow or projectile device is enclosed in a car carrying case or such firearm is unloaded and enclosed in a carrying case.
