OPEN & CONCEALED CARRY IN STATE PARKS & FORRESTS
 

I want to strongly urge you to ENSURE that all law abiding people are able to carry both OPEN & CONCEALED on acreages under your control.

For one thing, its absurd that we have open & concealed carry in this state yet it is not permitted in state lands. 

There are numerous reasons to have a firearm in forrested areas, but protection from animals & man sure are up there.

I also bet if taken to court it would be ruled unconstitutional to ban firearms.

It is a proven fact that where there are firearms carried by law abiding citizens, the crime rate is much lower than where they are not.

In addition, I put 28 years in the military & fought for this country & the constitution & am terribly affronted that I can't carry a firearm.

Please open these areas to open & concealed carry.
