geologist,
First, I don't have an SW Airweight so I can't help you on that but, please excuse my ignorance, you folks can have pistols up there?
Heck, just to try to book a hunting trip is tons of paperwork and that is for a rifle (I didn't, just looked into it).
Again, sorry for my ignorance.
edited to add: Pardon me, I forgot to say, Welcome to The Firing Line
