State Forest CC law
 

Thank you for reading this.

I am not a resident of your State, but my wife and I plan to do some travel to your State for vacationing to visit the various Civil War Battlefields and Monuments. We would love to be able to go to the State Forests to camp and enjoy our hobby of nature photography without being in violation of your laws on CC. We here in Oklahoma are allowed to carry them, and since they are supposed to be concealed they are never seen or commented on. Any person who wishes to flash a weapon around does not deserve the right to be able to carry one, this is the area in which you should look to making rules for.

I hope and pray that I never have to use the weapon I carry on any person or animal that threatens my safety, but I and others would like to have the right to be able to have the means to defend ourselves and families or even others in jeopardy. It is better to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best in all situations.

Thank you again for your time.

Ken
