I so agree, my friend.
And one soberly wonders,
for how long ... ?

Added by edit (and potentially OT
),
even though it DOES relate to carry:
"National Park" denotes one of those flagship pieces of topography,
like Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Yosemite ...,
that astounded our ancestors, and has been "preserved"
where "preserved" means you can drive through it,
and even stay in a four star hotel in it (both of which means "packed with people,
so if you're looking for true wilderness and solitude, don't go there"), but cannot carry in it.
"USFS Wilderness" designates lands that are not quite as spectacular,
but roadless, much of it extreme, no hotels, far fewer people, with solitude and open carry.
Then, there's also BLM (also US Dept of Interior) outback,
mostly low altitude deserts,
juniper woodland canyons and desert grasslands.
More than half of Nevada is BLM lands, meaning that more than half of NV isn't really NV.
Lots of BLM in eastern OR and UT as well.
Trust me, BLM land in desert - the American outback - is a fine place
to carry an x42 as
a backup piece for something larger.
(Something larger? Couldn't help but notice this is my post 686-1.
