get a CCW permitOriginally Posted by sofaking
show me where a state issued ccw gives you the right to carry on park service controlled lands. or that you can carry wherever you want, just because you have a permit. in va, for example, you can't enter any establishment that serves alcohol if your carrying...feel free to post links with any information that you have to prove me wrong, i'd like to get this as clear as possible...
I just sent you a link, maybe you should read it
you're allowed to carry guns to hunt THROUGH parts of the trail here in md, but they can't be loaded and it's only to access the hunting lands around the trail. none of which still has anything to do with hikers packing heat.
Is there a moderator in the house????????????????????????????????

Still states that there are parts that its legal to carry a firearm
Alright, I'm done, sorry for the thread drift.
So, is this only at the shelters themselves or are the stealth campers getting hit at all?
i see nowhere in any link you've posted where it says it's okay for a hiker to carry concealed. there is mention of hunters, in certain areas. you need to re-read all of your supporting evidence and find anything that permits you to carry while hiking the trail, also, if you're so convinced that it's okay to carry on certain parts, explain to me how you transport your gun around the parts where there is no confusion...
You can't be that stupid. "Take matters into their own hands",? Some of us call that DEFENDING ourselfs. If one of the two he killed in 1981 had a gun this guy wouldn't be around to "try" it again nor would we have paid 50k per year times 15 to keep him up and healthy so he could do it again. Theres just no nice word for stupid I'll tell ya.
defending 'OURSELVES'- sometimes there's no nice way of pointing out stupid, i'll tell you.
"Rely on LEO's out in the wild? I guess they'll take the same road up trail the Ambulance will to the where you fell and busted your leg. Go ahead and call 911 and tell them you heard a "strange noise" outside the shelter vs hearing a strange noise outside your back door. Hmmm
Are there any moderators on this thread? The obsessive gun lovers have once again taken over an original thread which had no mention of guns, just about bears and relocation of bears, etc. The testosterone thrill of handling a gun hypnotizes these post responders to threads concerning outdoor threats and so they spew forth their constant 'what-ifs' couched in 'personal security and defense' but yawn it grows tiresome and off-point. Way off-point.
they just went a got some lard-a$$ last week because he was tired...i'm guessing your idea of 'wilderness' is somewhat smaller than mine.
Not necessarily, I think you are doing a fine job without our help.
That makes your point? Thats all you got?
I don't think anyone or everyone should carry a weapon and no the "gun lovers" haven't taken over the thread. Don't remark "against" them and then cry foul when someone comes back "for". I'm not wasting anymore time on someone arguing "their" agenda point of view vs a factual situation. No mods needed on my account. Just don't flame someone the minute they mention "gun".
i'm glad you're feeling better.
you're not supposed to carry concealed pot or other drugs but lotsa hikers do
I love my gun, I often sleep with it under my pillow!
yeah, hippies will do that...but they're pretty easy to ignore. except when they get together in groups, then those stupid bongos appear and it smells like a rainbow gathering...
I also believe it is illegal to litter in a national forest.......where was the LEO that you are depending on to protect you when this jerk emptied his trash bag behind I log I sat down on last week? If we are to expect LE to protect us in the backcountry we should also expect them to be there to cite that jerk should we not?
