Question: Can I open carry a rifle while hiking in a national park?

If you can open carry the rifle in the state/states the park is in, you can open carry the rifle in the park.

Some states are quite restrictive, such as New Jersey or Hawaii.

The problem there is that you’re crossing the line from self-defense to hunting. I don’t think I’d want to be explaining that one in court.
