Concealed carry in state forests
 

I absolutely support the idea that concealed carry holders should be able to carry defensive firearms anyplace in the Commonwealth, including forests.  Please note that anyone who is permitted for concealed carry has already been vetted by the criminal justice system and we are not the segment of the population who commit gun crimes.  We are the good guys and we should have the ability to defend ourselves whereever we go.   Allowing us to carry will not create a hazard for the genral public and should enhance safety overall.
