It just makes common snese to allow the legal carry of a firearm for self defense in the forrest, as it does anywhere that there is not a police officer on every street corner to protect a citizen. Self defense does not end at the end of the paved street, be it from a two or four legged animal out to do a body harm.
Unless and untill the laws are so severe that criminals will cease and decist, there must be a deterrent, and the likelyhood of a LEO on site to be that deterrent is between slim and none. Therefor, the right of a citizen to protect themselves and their family must be insured, anywhere they may travel, and that insurance is the Armed Citizen.
The oncy commonsense thing to do is to support and pass this petition.
