Handgun At Campsite in Shotgun Only Area

[ubet]

Easy, if you can shoot their, you can loc their. Why is this so hard to understand, or are people just nervous to loc?

I am going to be backpacking in an NF in a couple weeks and called the forest ranger to make sure loaded open carry is okay. He said I should be fine as long as I stay in the boundaries of the NF.

LOADED open carry?? Do you mean UNloaded open carry? I thought most NFs prohibit shooting, and therefore UOC would be the only option.

You are confusing National Forests with National Parks. See the Firearms in Forests and Parks thread.

Gahh you're right. Sorry. I guess I'm getting overly cynical, it just feels like anything to do with guns in this state is probably illegal or will be soon.

Direct quote from my correspondence with a BLM representative at the Barstow Field office.

Shotgun Only areas are shotgun discharge only, you can have your pistol and
rifle but can not discharge them.

Well that's awesome. Any name you can attribute that to? Thanks Conner.

or you can work for a 4wd related magazine and CLEARLY show in one article you shooting off a glock inside JV...

friggin "4 wheel and off road" mag. but this was probably a decade or so ago. the idiots said in one photo that they traded someone some cigars for some time on the pistol.

i emailed them about, letters to the editor, and for a few months i went and check the magazine and my letter was never printed.

Maybe cuz we don't know what it is of 'their's' that you want to shoot or open carry. Dah?
