Florida State Parks

[Dan Forrester]

Please e-mail your state reps asking them to clear up the confusion surrounding Florida State Parks.

You have 790.06 which states places explicitly prohibited form carrying.
State parks are not listed.

You also have from www.floridastateparks.org under general park rules http://www.floridastateparks.org/information/rules.htm “For your safety, do not feed any animals. Intoxicants and firearms are prohibited.†For my safety?

There’s more: See

http://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/in...e&Search_String=&URL=Ch0790/SEC25.HTM&Title=->2002->Ch0790->Section%2025#0790.25

Now scroll down to “hâ€

“A person engaged in fishing, camping, or lawful hunting or going to or returning from a fishing, camping, or lawful hunting expedition; â€

This applies to open carry, but it still applies.

E-mail your state reps (find them here http://www.myfloridahouse.com/ ). Tell them you’d like this clarified.

BTW: What other states allow licensed concealed carry in state parks. We could also list other states in which concealed carry is legal, and hasn’t proven problematic.

Thanks, Daniel Vaughn.
