open carry in parks

imported post

CC in national forests is cool, that was discussed several weeks ago. National Forests are also FREE with a few exceptions (crabtree falls is $3).

I don't do national parks, screw that, you will NOT find my ass in the woods without a firearm, and until they allow guns they won't see me.
