example,
im planning to take a hike up to the castle at sleeping giant in hamden and i was thinking of packing some heat. but wasnt sure if that is legal.
Hate to side track but thease laws are retarded. I commonly fish in state parks in CT and fairly often where I fish is pretty far into the woods. On thease trips I have seen a lot of wildlife and heve even been a bit fearful a few times (walked up a hillside to the sight of a black bear about 25 yds from me). If anything I think self defence would be paramount in state parks. :::Rant Off:::
I live by Naugatuck state forest and they literally have a shooting range in the middle of the forest. High Rock Shooting Range. I mean if you came across an asshat of a officer you could be ticketed while transporting to the range. Granted the charges would more than likely be dropped but nontheless an annoyance. Also to that point how is it ok for me to carry in that portion of the forest (state park) and not in the rest?

You heard pretty close CTSurvivor. It it my understanding that no money changes hands though. The State allows use of the land in exchange for it being open to the public and kept very cheap. The DEEP website lists it as a recommended place for shotgun patterning along with the State range in Glastonbury. The exception literally only applies to the road leading to the range. Pull over and go for a walk and you are committing a crime.
