We have a local park which is run by NYS. While the park is nice, there are times I would like to CCW for my protection. After reading this rule book it looks like even though I have a valid CCW permit, I can't carry.

Since this is NY, I am not surprised but disappointed. I have a valid permit and I can't carry? That stinks!

Link for rule book doesn't work on my phone.
Guess I can't read the rules.
And they are rules or LAWS?
I don't follow rules well.
But I really do try not to break too many laws at the same time.

Govt report says by 2021 they'll have enough drones to follow every single person when they leave their home. The new drones will all contain Stingray systems, X-ray, and a few non disclosed others in order to assist the Govt in recording your every move... Excluded from this surveillance will be LE, any publicly elected officer, including political officers, military and more. Of course illegal aliens will be excluded because we can't officially acknowledge they exist. All regular citizens without a valid exclusion must register to recieve their drone. Any failure to register will result in that citizens arrest and conviction without trial for subversion.










So... A tree falls in a forest... Does it make a sound?











Is the cat in the box dead or alive?










Are you or are you not carrying a weapon on Govt/State (YOUR) land? Does the weapon appear when you lift your shirt, or if you never lift your shirt does it exist at all? Hmmmmmmmm...

Zogger, seeing that you're in Rochester, NY, you should be more "concerned" about Monroe county's misdemeanor offense of carrying in their parks. As Will stated, state parks are only a fine.

I don't like that as well. I used to into Durand-Eastman Park to take pictures but now it has gotten too many sketchy people. If I did go, I would want to carry but I can't!

NOT NYS!!
EF that.... it's YOUR park!!

Oh, and I'm sure you will be safe there with just a stick, as guns aren't allowed so defending yourself with that stick should work if attacked!!

Some have exclusion for a 22lr pistol if you have a trapping authorization on your hunting license. Stewart State Forest by me is one of those. When you read particular prohibitions on each one you may find something interesting.

If you CCW it is on you to know the Laws, Rules and Regulations of were you go and make you own decisions and choices. And then accept the consequences! The OP did the right think in investigating this and I'm glad he shared it with the forum.

This is the exact reason I typed the above first. Prior to getting my current job, I did the same. Like I said, dangers do not stop because of the starting line of a park.

As a followup, I also go into Federal Wildlife Areas. According to their rules (https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5066182.pdf) they say if you have a valid CC permit you are allowed to carry. The laws say:
"The second exception to this law allows people with a concealed weapon permit to carry a loaded, concealed, handgun either on their person or in their vehicle while on National Forest. This does not apply if the person is engaged in a primitive weapons season or chase only season."
So a valid NYS CCW permit does not allow you to carry in NYS parks (or my local county parks) but the Federal Wildlife lets you carry in their areas. Is this crazy or what?

Says it all...

They got you right where they want you! More worried about breaking the law, than the lawbreakers that will break you!...

Concealed is concealed, end of conversation! When they install X-ray machines at park entrances then worry. If you're gonna worry about every step, every door, every place you go if you are breaking a law, you should probably reconsider carrying at all. I'm not advocating lawlessness, but I tend not to read signs, and reading comprehension or proficiency isn't a lawful mandate so some day, I'll get to reading them. For now, live life and enjoy and stop worrying so much...

"CAN'T"... Pfffffffffffft... Yeah. Ok
