open carry is legal.. ccw still requires a ccw.. UNLESS you are IN your camp.. your camp is considered your place of residence.

you won't be able to get to the gun in your pack if you are attacked.

same thing I told my pops when he's out huntin'. what's the point of carrying a backup pistol when it's jammed into the bottom of ur pack  you should be okay in national forest, just holster it and don't cover it with ur shirt/jacket. that way it won't spook fish/game wards or forest rangers when they approach you |

Don't take this wrong. But if a NFS ranger calls you on open carry and you try to tell them it's legal per section so&so, even if you're correct, if they think it's not legal all the explaining in the world won't help at that point. Either they'll call in for directions, or you'll settle it in court. But, FWIW, every ranger I've ever delt with KNOWS that it is legal, and when it's legal. |

Anywhere it is legal to shoot it is legal to open carry. I hunt the National Forrest all the time and always carry a handgun. A National Park is different. |

Probably best to call the District office. State Law says that when bonfide camping, fishing, etc it's legal but doesn't address hiking the way it does camping and fishing. Plus the "shooting" areas in the Angeles are pretty much gone now. |
