“So you’re saying your are armed while hiking? Do you have a permit? Is that allowed on BLM land?”
LOL,, omg, you REALLY aren’t from around here, are you? No permit needed. Not on BLM or Nat Forests in New Mexico and Colorado. Only national parks had some restrictions, and those are mostly gone now too. So yes, i pack a very slick 1911 45acp. In fact im horrified at hiking without.
