My right to self defense should not end when I step into a state forest.  I choose to carry a handgun for the defense of my family, my self and yes those who cannot/will not defend themselves. 

 

A predatory animal will not attack unless it thinks it's prey is weak.  A loin will not attack a healthy full grown elephant. However, a sick or baby elephant is fair game.   A criminal is a predatory animal and by definition does not obey laws.  If he believes he has the upper hand (he will be armed no matter what the rules say) he will attack.   

 

Do not keep law abiding citizens easy prey for 2 or 4 legged animals. Please allow us to legally carry open or concealed in state forest.
