im planning a trip to plumas national forest and need some clarification on gun laws. (i don't think I've ever been to a national forest so i haven't researched the laws too much)
i called today and was told that all guns must be openly carried, whether in a vehicle or on your person. in your vehicle all guns must be unloaded and in plain sight, or in a locked container if out of sight (including long guns). i was also told that firearms (long guns or handguns) may be loaded and open carried outside of the vehicle, but never concealed. no shooting within 200ft of a designated camp or recreation area, no shooting over water, or over roadways.
the only thing that seems a little strange to me is that my long guns have to be locked, and that i cant loaded OC in a vehicle. is any of the info i received inaccurate and is there anything else i should know?
thanks.
