I wonder if this will extend to the National Park properties here in NC as well. Not too long ago a couple was murdered while hiking out in western NC area. People in the wilderness for recreation ought to be able to defend themselves. I actually don’t know what is allowed in the National Partks.

'Splain to me again, the concept of "concealed".

Sen. Floyd McKissick, a Durham Democrat, had a similar concern. “We keep going down a path and I don’t know where it ends,” he said. “We continue to allow guns in more and more places.”
And crime keeps dropping. Wonder why?
