Concealed or Open Carry in Forests
 

This should absolutely be allowed and not limited to concealed carry permit holders. The woods can be a dangerous place, both from the increasing top predator populations due to the exploding deer population and unfortunately, due to the increasing incidence of crime along walking trails and in campgrounds. Open carry is a huge deterrent to a would be criminal predator, so is concealed carry. Please let this go through so I may take my children camping there and afford my family the security of a weapon on my person.
