This is concealed carry for those already licensed to do so in the state where the National Park is located right?
That's how I read it.This is concealed carry for those already licensed to do so in the state where the National Park is located right?
I live in Virginia too,and I didn't think that applied to the National Forests just National Parks.I could be wrong but if I am I've been breaking that one for some time. :duh: You can hunt in the National Forest,but not National Parks,at least not in Virginia.It's been my understanding if you have a ccw,you could carry in the N.ForestThis is new to me and great news as I hike the George Washington National Forest in Virginia. It always bugged me to see the sign at the trailheads telling me I can't carry in my home state where I have been granted a CCW permit.
Amen to that. I've hiked all over the deserts of the Southwest and the Appalachians of the East. I've met some weird folks out in the middle of nowhere, including poachers (they used to call 'em deerjackers). Would have been much happier with one of my pistols at hand.Interesting little read...
