Gentlemen/Ladies,
I am trying to find info on carrying a concealed firearm in CT State/National Forests and Wildlife Management Areas. Below are the Regs as published by the CT DEP. http://www.ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/regulations/23/23-4-1through5.pdf
Would I be correct in my understanding of the regulations below that a person who has a CT Permit to carry a concealed firearm can carry that firearm concealed in the National Forests and Wildlife Management Areas of CT.
Section 23-4-1. (c) Hunting/weapons.
Hunting or carrying of firearms, archery equipment or other weapons,
including but not limited to air rifles and slingshots, is not permitted in any
state park or forest except as authorized by the Department of Environmental
Protection. All carrying or use of weapons is subject to applicable provisions
of the Connecticut General Statutes and regulations adopted thereunder.
The bold type says to me that the DEP is saying that they will go by CT Statutes. Those Statutes are where the laws on Obtaining a permit to carry and carrying a firearm concealed is contained. Any help you could give me in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Stay Safe,
Gary Slider
