Rule Change Would Permit Weapons in National Parks - Page 3

I have hiked throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and am about to embark on a 290 mile backpack trip in the Sierras. I have a concealed weapons permit for life, but never take a weapon with me into the wilderness. Yet everyday day I walk and ride the streets of L.A. armed. The reason for not taking a weapon is simply about weight. I don't want to carry the extra weight on a long and arduous trip. And haven't encountered the thugs or extreme wild animals that some countries have. I feel safer in the wild then I do on the streets of L.A.
I have never shot an animal in self defense, but I have killed in self defense of myself and others........
