Good for her. I’m just getting into backpacking in the last year or so. On our last trip, two of the three adults were armed. The third left his in the car because he didn’t have the space in his pack. My new backpack has a nifty little pocket near the water bottle holder that perfectly fits my 9mm.
The USNPS is exactly correct in allowing concealed carry in our parks
Must have. Else you are ‘Code White’ in a ‘this is not heaven’ world.
Good for her. She just does not want to contribute to a Deliverance Part 11.
Unfortunately they don't, in fact they don't allow firearms at all in most cases. If they do it will be in conformity with local law, which will allow concealed carry for those properly licensed in the particular jurisdiction. Which is most cases is a very small population, in state permit holders or permit holders in a reciprocal state.
IMO carry should be allowed on federal land for anyone who can legally own a firearm, period. If not concealed, open.
“The USNPS is exactly correct in allowing concealed carry in our parks”
Here’s a very good reason:
Your parks and national forests are being devastated by armed Mexican drug cartels growing pot farms on thousands of acres every year. They destroy the habitat for miles around them and the garbage....take a look.

Make space. And it probably shouldn't be in the pack anyway.
