[pct-l] Lightweight pistols if you decide to carry

[calliger@infolane.com (R.J.Calliger)]

You must declare at the entrance of all NP's that you have a weapon
in your possession.

It must be unloaded and cased to the best of my knowledge.

Hunting is not allowed in any NP. No discharge of any firearms
are allowed in any NP.
