State Park carry is legal with an LTCH.

Any one Been hassled?

While OC'ing at turkey run, DNR stopped by campsite since we setup after gatehouse was closed. I noticed him glance down so I told him I had a LTCH and said no problem. He did tell me they have had other campers make the MWAG call in the past but since he knew I had a LTCH, he would not bother us and inform any callers of state law.

Also oc'ed at Turkey Run (close enough to shades) recently, and not one problem. This includes hiking and staying at the hotel there.

I've never had any issues openly carrying at Shades or Turkey Run.

Never had a problem at multiple state parks except for one numbnut at Mounds in Anderson. Do a search and you can find the write up in this forum! After OC'd mutiple times at Mounds since without any issues!

State Parks = OK
State Forests = OK
State Rec. Areas = OK
National Parks = OK
National Forests = OK
Army Corp of Engineers Rec Areas = NOT OK

Several state properties still have literature with the OLD rules (no firearms), but that changed not all that long ago. The National Parks changed recently as well. We still need to work on the ACoE folks. They are the last hold out.
