Here is a section right out of the BSA Guide to Safe Scouting.
"Except for law enforcement officers required to carry firearms within their jurisdiction, firearms shall not be brought on camping, hiking, backpacking, or other Scouting activities except those specifically planned for target shooting under the supervision of a currently certified BSA or National Rifle Association firearms instructor."
So my question is more of a legal question not a moral question.
Legally can the Boy Scouts of America being a private organization actually force tha rule, if the state I live in has giving me the right to carry my gun execpt where the state or federal law says I can not carry?
Being a private organization they can make their own rules such as the do say if your are a homosexual, or you do not belive in GOD your atheists or agnostics you may not be a BSA volunteer Scout leader or member., also girls may not be a BOY SCOUT they may be in Venturing, but not Boy Scouts. Those facts have been taken to court and BSA has won.
BUT what about when the state government gives you a right to do something, can the BSA take that right away from you?
I am not asking what I should do, because I take my right to carry very seriously and I carry everywhere I can and I obey the laws of the state and noone elses rules unless they are inline with the state rules.
Thanks,
J
