Dear Sir/Maddam,

I read with interest about your considering concealed  carry of firearms  in your state forests.

If a person  is hiking and or camping in your state forests, especially overnight, it just makes sense to take every precaution for one's on safety.  If someone is licensed to carry a pistol or revolver why would he or she not carry it for protection into a forest?  This is the exact situation  most people obtain a license in the first place.   If you were hiking in bear country or camping at night in a  forest, wouldn't you feel safer having some protection??  

Pardon my saying so, but this is a no brainer

Respectfully yours,

Norman Alteria
