Deep In The Woods

Would you take a trip two days hiking in the forest in northern Michigan, but want to bring a firearm to defend themselves, not hunting, a rifle or handgun. Is it against the law to do so?

go to the website of national forest and get the # for the store in the woods that you want to travel to and ask

If you're in a forest with a gun, it will be assumed that you are hunting in most cases.

National Forests allow firearms and target shooting, but there are many rules and exceptions, as not near buildings, roads, residential areas, etc. In national parks, no firearms are allowed . National Wildlife Management Area, any firearm, BLM land tended to produce firearms. All are equally subject to state law.

Find the webpage of the National Forest that you visit and see what the policy is Theuer. You should at least have a permit to carry Michigan. Know the difference between a park and forest.

I do overnite hiking or canoeing at least twice a year, some in neighborhoods and other backcountry distance. While 98% of the people you run into are polite nature lovers like me, there were some incidents that cause me to do whenever I'm away from civilization. Where law enforcement may be days away, you need to be autonomous.

Also, I had my car broken into several times at the starting point as I can remember, so my 4x no radio or valuables in it, and I did bring my registration and insurance papers with me runway.

National Forest property.
The national parks are NoWay!

depends on your state, it is legal in Indiana if you have a handgun permit

beedsarefunak .......... I am no idea ......... I know the law in my state .......... just received a bulletin about this DNR

it varies from state to state
you can hunt on National Forest many properties, but in TN you can run against the hunting regulations, some sectors are wildlife management of the forest and you can not carry a weapon in a management area, except on a hunting allowed
better check with the Rangers for the area you plan to hike

Only in the law to carry a firearm in a national park. Forests are ok. Make sure you're not shooting near the campgrounds, which is displayed you can not do that. Do not carry a gun, unless you have a license to hunt legally.

No, you do not need a permit to hunt the bear that we in the National Forests in Wisconsin and carry guns, even if his training season only because of the wolf population levels. Just because you have a firearm does not mean that your hunt, you could even set targets and shoot in the National Forest if we wanted too.

I do a lot of hiking and camping in the national forest and wilderness areas as well. Never had any problems in all States carrying a pistol on my belt. And met many forest service personnel, guards, etc. that I never questioned.

Regarding both hidden? I have a CCW permit. And my state has entered into reciprocal agreements with most others who also helped CCW. But have found it much easier to get to your weapon (if any) if you have it on a carpet to keep hidden under bulky clothes.

Still, a good idea to simply go online and quickly check the website of the region to enter your.

I thought that all Americans carry a firearm and are willing to use it. If you encounter a person who has a gun and wants you to turn ... This is probably America ... then you should have a gun. This is why everyone in America has a gun ... so they can defend themselves ... it is your constitutional right.

It is unlawful to possess a weapon. I think I know where you're going with this. What is better is to travel, hike, go anywhere, in a group, never alone. You can.
