Concealed Carry shoulld be legal in our State and National Forests
 

To carry firearms anywhere is an individual "right" that was acknowledged by the Constitution of the United States and the Bill or Rights.  The States ratified the Constitution and therefore should be bound by its laws.  The fact that we now have to actually have a "permit" to do this is absurd, but shows how far government intrusion into our personal lives has come, and having a Concealed Carry permit is not always enough since it is not recognized everywhere.  It is time to allow common sense to prevail, and that not all rights have to be legally acknowedleged, but to accept these "truths that are self-evident".

 

Thanks!
