I strongly support this petition, there is no reason to prohibit the lawful carrying of weapons by law abiding citizens.  Some of our state parks are fairly sizable and with black bears making a ressurgence in the state it would be wise to allow citizens enjoying our beautiful parks to carry the means to protect themselves in an emergency.  If people don't want to carry a firearm in a park that is their business and that is fine with me, but please allow law abiding citizens to make that decision themselves.  Nobody with an untrained eye will ever notice when carrying concealed anyways.
