I just contacted my Rep Tommy Benton.

So in HB 543 it states "...unless such person is a lawful weapons carrier" when it refers to carrying in parks, historic sites, etc.

Where exactly does it define who is a 'lawful weapons carrier'?
I looked in the section it referenced and all that was defined was handgun, knife, license holder, long gun, weapon and weapons carry license.
