The Ranger knows I always carry at the local state park, and knows it is legal--as long as I don't decide to use it for anything besides personal defense from death or severe bodily harm.  A hiker carrying a weapon hangimg out of his rear pocket was questioned by the Ranger and cited for illegally carrying a weapon (no CHL) on a state park.By the way, based on personal conversation with the security officer at the Wichita NWR, they are using much the same rules. You can carry on a valid CHL in the refuge, but not in Federal Buildings or vehicles. That includes the vehicles for the annual hunts, but you can leave your CHL pistol in your private vehicle in the parking lot. He stated any handgun seen and every pistol shot fired in the refuge will be throughly investigated to determine if it was for personal defense.</blockquote>
