I believe it is a good thing to allow law abiding citizens with concealed carry permits to be able to carry concealed in state forests. For the largest reason it enables licensed holders to protect themselves and their families from wildlife and people who are up to no good. Despite what anti-gun activists say people who carry concealed are not trigger happy. I have a clean straight “A” background and my concealed carry permit proves it. Regardless if you approve this or not criminals have and always will carry concealed illegally. That’s what makes them criminals. Besides why would a national forest be a restricted place for concealed carry permit holders? It’s a remote area.
