Can I carry in Shenandoah National Park?

**Bug44** · February 27th, 2012, 09:47 PM

This March I plan on doing some hiking/camping in Shenandoah National Park VA... Can I carry in the Park? Has anyone ever done this? I am pretty sure it (IS) legal, but I want to know if any members have done so? And if they recommend any trails...

As I know it I just can't Carry in any buildings

Thanks guys

Provided you are legal in VA then you are legal in Shenandoah.

As you already indicated, you cannot carry into any buildings that are staffed (duty station) by Federal employees (ref 18 USC 930). These places must be conspicuously posted or you have to be directly advised under subsection (h) before a conviction can be sustained.
