Guns are legal in the NF to bad more people don't carry

Per 36CFR2.4, you must have the firearm unloaded, cased and inaccessible while on NPS property.

A lot of good it would have done in this case.

National Forest is part of the Forest Service, not the National Park System. Controlled by the USDA I beleive. Their conditions for carry track along with state CCW laws in most instances. National Parks, forget it.

I think a lot of people get confused about the difference between a National Forest and National Park. The incident in this story took place in a National Forest where it is perfectly legal to carry a loaded handgun. In a National Park however, you weapon must be unloaded and disassembled.

Yes on National park service property but this is national forest. Even on some National park property it is legal to process firearms. All the wild rivers under the wild river act is one of them.
