"Yeah - go ahead break Federal Law. Great idea."

Ok I'll bite...what Federal Law?

I'm free to carry a weapon in the woods any time of year regardless of whether there is an open season for "X".

As to killing an animal that is acting aggresively or attacking me, that's legal too. If I do kill a bear out of season I AM obligated to report it.

I NEVER go into the woods with out a weapon period, and if you think I'm going to pause and reflect on the legality of protecting me of anyone else because of law you are delusional.

Then by all means - go armed into a National Forest or Park. I hope you get caught.
