As I suspected and knew..can't legally cary in NF and NP..
but hey can't legally cross the US BORDER and well millions do it every year..Guess I'll just obey the laws I agree with and ignore those I do not.
You read it wrong. You can carry concealed handguns in NF land, according the the state laws for concealed carry.
You can carry loaded rifles if hunting and according to the season.
National Forest land is not Park.
All this tough guy talk is missing the point. Not every parent is gonna be armed to the teeth while enjoying camping with their little kids. Some do, some dont, but nothing was preventing these people from doing so. These kind of attacks are so rare as to be unheard of. She didn't expect this would happen. And it did. And that's really a tragedy.
