I CC there all the time, but I use a Maxpedition bag. The potential to tear some dumbasses dog off of mine leaves a lot of opportunity for a pissed off owner to do something that I may not be able to control.

However, the Parks Department has RULES in place the would appear to prohibit possession of firearms.

Link does not work.

So as long as you don't shoot at anything or wave your gun around or threaten someone with it you are OK.
