allow us the choice to protect ourselves
 

It is insane that we can carry concealed in a crowded business or local city park but not in the woods where we are most vulnerable?  How insane are the laws anyway.  The purpose of carrying concealed is the ability to protect ourselves or loved ones when the need arises.  In the middle of nowhere where the options for protection are limited ( ie... local law enforcement ) is where the need is greatest.  We have the right to bear arms, why stop our choice to carry when we cross the boundaries of national forest.  It doesnt make sense.  Dont take our rights as American citizens away.  We have fought since our founding as a country for these rights against outside forces that wish to repress and control us and now we proceed to do the job from the inside several hundred years later.
