Please approve petition for open / concealed carry in state forests
 

Please approve the petition to allow open and/or concealed carry on public lands and in state forests.  In the case of open carry, this is a right already respected by the Commonwealth and its practice should be extended to and allowed on public land of any kind.  With regard to concealed carry (with a permit) this is also a recognized right with review / screening / approval of permit holders by County authorities.  The presence of responsible armed citizens on public lands or in state forests will only enhance the safety and security of all persons enjoying these venues.  Thank you.
