[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1062003, member: 1742"] Just some general info and comments: A firearms FAQ for one National Park, but should be once size fits all: [url=http://www.nps.gov/thro/learn/management/firearms-and-weapons.htm]Firearms and Other Weapons - Theodore Roosevelt National Park (U.S. National Park Service)[/url] Check the Firearms FAQ for the National Park you are going to and make sure you know where the Park boundaries are, what land is beyond the Park boundaries (folks often confuse National Forests with National Parks) and what state you are in so you know the laws in the jurisdiction you're in. It is my understanding that if you have a concealed carry permit for the state the Nat'l Park is in (or your permit has reciprocity for the state the Nat'l Park is in...), then you can legally carry concealed. If that state allows open carry, then you can open carry. What I've done here for hiking in concealed carry areas is carry on my pack hip belt with a paddle retained holster (that can easily be slipped into my pants waistband when the pack is off) and made a lightweight cover out of 1.1 oz. silnylon (water tight for this purpose) that is shaped to the gun and slips around the gun and is retained by elastic around the opening. A tab is sewn on top and a flick of the wrist pops the cover off the top of the pistol and the elastic then pulls the cover downwards and away from the pistol as you go to draw. Very fast, very light and helps keep rain off your pistol. Probably not a great description of the cover, but the point is, it conceals your firearm while making it very quick to get to still. Just have to be very careful of what kind of jurisdiction and state you are in. [/QUOTE]
