Anyone with a concealed carry permit should be allowed to carry a weapon in any public forest or park. We have ben vetted to be able to carry a weapon. The one's you need to be concerned with are the people who do not follow the rules. They are going to carry anywhere they please regardless of the rules. That leaves law abiding citizens unarmed........ is that right? If you are not going to allow anyone to carry there, then do a weapons search on everyone entering a park or forest!!!
