Reply #36: As a retired police officer [View All]

I carry a gun with me everywhere I go.Its either on me or in my truck.A small 22 magnum 5 shot revolver that when in the hand can't be seen.I've been National parks and forest and never been searched by park or forest rangers.There has been an occasion where a retired officer was hunting an a person who he arrested recognized him and shot him.I was camping with my sons in a National forest and while we were asleep someone fired shots outside our tent.They left before I could get out of the tent.I believe you have a right to protect yourself anywhere you go and be responsible.I just wonder4 how many people have been killed in a National park? Maybe like the National park in D.C..I had rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6 any day.
