Is it legal to open carry when I'm hiking in a national forest in Washington state? I Know I can't in a national park, such as around Mt. Ranier but I'd like to when I hike in the Mt. Baker area.
9.41.060 (8) Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all of the attendant circumstances, including but not limited to whether the person has a valid hunting or fishing license, it is reasonable to conclude that the person is participating in lawful outdoor activities or is traveling to or from a legitimate outdoor recreation area;
Dookie said:Not legal is state parks though. Be careful as a lot of public/state/private forest land borders state parks.
Cuz the grizzlies know how to read maps.
