FL State Forest Carry

B2Tall

Stirrer of the Pot
I know this subject has been touched on before but I have yet to see anything definitive. I'd like to know if I can carry in a STATE forest and/or park (I have a CCW). Several people have posted links that deal with national forests but I have yet to see anything regarding state areas.

Any help would be.........helpful!
