Well, a permit to carry a concealed firearm is what I meant. A quick reading of the regulations referenced in the second previous post suggests that open carry may not be permissible on National Forest lands because of the issue relating to hunting. In other words, if you are openly carrying a firearm, it is presumed that you are hunting. It doesn't say that in so many words, however, so you're free to make your own guess. But it does say that concealed carry is OK. It also says that you can't carry a loaded firearm on Sunday because there is no hunting on Sunday. I guess that means you can't carry a loaded firearm when it's dark, too. Kind of confusing. Overall, however, the basic law is the state law and federal regulations build on that, so to speak.
