Open carry it, wear a MAGA hat, and just stare at them if they chimp out.

A .22 isnt going to do jack shit. A m9 won't deter mountain lions or bears. If you can't be yourself around these people why even hang out with them?

Its not very /k/ but you wont need a gun, dont ruin your trip and potentially alienate yourself from your /out/ buddies.

>>31443992
Open carry. Don't be the faggot sheriff. Don't even unholster (unless you have to). Make it as small a deal as possible. If someone raises stink you can say
>its for personal safety. I can just go home if you don't want me to be here
That little guilt at the end has worked for me. If the whole groups thinks thats best you should probably get new friends anyway.

For fucks sake don't mention trump. If anyone asks, give your opinion, then politely change the subject; don't become a meme for their ammo.

>>31444045
I'm pretty sure they're going to assume that someone who is carrying a gun most likley not to vote for Hillary or waste vote on stien or johnson.

>>31444070
Normies dont even know johnson. Although if they're bay area hippies, maybe. Actually would be kind of funny to head fuck someone and say you're voting Hilldawg while open carrying

>>31443992
Open carry the 9.

Good advice. They may not say anything, but will talk behind your back the whole trip, treating you like you're Elliot. Hopefully after the first trip they'll get comfortable on the next one.

>>31444233
Checked. Which is exactly why I emphasized keeping on the down-low while still keeping personal safety intact. They need to acclimate.

Calfag here. Are you sure it is even legal? From my understanding the state law is pretty vague about carrying in a no-discharge area, and federal law does not preempt it.

Yosemite is a no-discharge area.

Don't get arrested OP. You should know better than to own guns in Cuckiforniastan.

>>31443992
You cannot open carry in CA at all let alone in a national park. If you have a ccw valid in CA you could cc buy thats it. And if you discharge your gun within yosimitie you'd get federally aasfuckes by the laws. It's like you didn't even bother to look uo their rules.

>>31444407
Open carry of knives is fine though. Just strap a hunting knife to your belt and no one will bat an eye.

>>31444400

This, since you can't run high capacity in CA anyway. Bring the wheel gun.

>>31444409
This is wrong, you can open carry on unincorporated or BLM land if shooting is not prohibited.

So BLM land and some National Forests.

>>31443992
Don't be a pussy OP. Get a Para-M1 Carbine and fold the stock to make it fit in your bag. When you get into Yellowstone run around with it screaming about how the Japs are in the Trees. Make it hell for those fucking hippies.

Seems unlikely.

>>31444518
Baka gaijin, read the calguns link. Federal law doesn't require open carry, it just doesnt prohibit it.

>>31444331

It's legal. I've done it before, unless they changed the law in the past few years? Yosemite is federal land. Only areas you can't carry are government buildings.

>>31444629
2014 ban on open carry. Also, because no one gave you a hard time doesn't mean it is legal.

California: Nothing is true. Everything is prohibited.

>>31444331
You can carry innawoods without exception in Ca. Doesn't matter if it's at a KOA. But willl law enforcement harass you about it? Probably.

>>31444456
GOOKS IN THE WIRE

>>31443992

I have a closed waist-pouch I carry a gun in when I'm at innawoods gatherings where guns might be less than welcome, ie kids' fishing events, hiking trails where liberal retards are known to research, trail-running. If I'm out with family, I'd rather just enjoy the occasion than be some reverse SJW causing shit, which I'm more than happy to do when alone or with my bros.

>>31443992
Tell the hippies to wear bright colored clothing. It totally won't attract dangerous animals. Totally.

>>31444045

Best advice.

ITT no one has any idea how California gun laws work.

I'm all for ignoring the law, but just know what you're getting into.

itt: 'responsible' gun owners.

I'm not sure if people are just trolling or if they really think that federal law doesn't trump state law on federal land.

You can carry in national parks. You cannot carry into the federal buildings on national park land (visitor centers and such). You need to follow all CA laws while in a national park in CA. You can concealed carry in Yosemite if you have a CA CCW, otherwise I think you're out of luck legally.

ITT no one realizes that prohibited shooting areas = prohibited open carry.

I'm just going to assume everyone is trolling and not retarded enough to believe that State laws don't apply to federal land.

Otherwise we all would have 30 rnd mags, wouldn't we?

>>31445526
We don't?

>>31444023
>dont ruin your trip and potentially alienate yourself from your /out/ buddies.

Open carry is illegal in California state parks

>31446242

Yosemite is FEDERAL land, not state land. Federal law trumps state law.

Seriously though, does anyone have a serious answer to this with sources? I'm 99% sure it's legal to open carry on national parks.

>>31444435
yeah yosemite is NOT one of those places. you will get assraped by ranger rick if you fire in the park.

>>31445526
They don't. It's entirely legal to open carry a firearm in all national parks.

>>31443992

You know, actually talk to your friends like a normally adjusted person.

>Hey, this is anon, any wild animals that we might need tonworry about? (Pretend you are a little stupid, puts them on the high ground, not the defensive)

Oh yeah, maybe mountain lions, possibly a bear blah blah blah

>Well, shoot, I have a pistol my dad will let me borrow (don't talk about your autistic obsession) should i bring that along?

Either: yeah, not a bad idea or no, indent really like that idea.

>Well, I'd feel safer with it, I'm going to bring it. It won't be a problem, won't even take it out unless I need to


So, open on the "I'm stupid whats an animal?" Durr hurr and let them feel superior and knowledgeable, then bring up the fact. Most outdoorsmen, no matter how leftist, are of the "always be prepared" mindset, most wouldn't have a problem with carrying for protection against animals. If he has a problem, then assert yourself and bring it anyway.

This of course should be directed at the "leader" ofbthe expedition. Whoever is most knowledgeable or driving or whatever. Of you happen to be the leader ofbthe group, like everyone is asking you questions about sleeping gear and tents and locations and shit, then bring it, you are the leader.

was in Yosemite june this year. (I live in michigan) Only place where your unlikely to be around 1000 camera weilding tourists is hetch-hetchy reservoir. (Day use only w/o special permit. well worth the visit though) Its also where they bring 'problem bears' who have worn out their welcome in the main valley / upper tioga region. Most of the time there are so many people around you have no need to worry, they rest of the time- have a stick / knife / theres rocks to throw. Dont get arrested. (ignore this advice if your doing the john muir trail or some super backpacker type shit)
Also, visit glacier point / climb sentinel dome (either one) at dawn. its fucking increadable

Look at how hilariously small this number is. You're travelling in a group of adults. You'll never see a cougar, and you will lose your friends. Take them shooting sometime after you get back.

>>31446355

This isn't a bad idea, but I frequently hike with and without guns depending on my group and what we are doing. If a new member of the group came to me like this, I'd probably politely say no.

Wildlife encounters are _usually_ something that you handle without using your gun. If we are hiking not hunting, and the person is saying they have no experience with wildlife AND little experience with their gun, why would I want them to bring it?

Piggybacking on this thread. Last week I went on a date with a fresh off the boat Viet chick who is pretty cool. I tried to throw hints that I've got a gun problem, by talking about some hunting trips I've done. She said she liked hunting, but was scared of guns. Didn't know where the night was heading so I just dropped it. Ended pretty good, and we are going out again tomorrow, any advice on how I let her know?

Read the link carefully:

Even though it is a national park, it is within CA and therefore you must ALSO abide by STATE laws. Also that link only outlines possession and does not explicitly state open carry.

I've actually kinda wondered about this shit you guys. Please help me out here
Everyone Ive talked to about an interest in hiking/backpacking/camping trips thought it was weird that I wanted to bring a rifle/shotgun
Not just hippy liberal retards but even fudd republicans ask me like "Why would you need to bring a rifle?"

Am I the weird one here? Im in the fucking woods? Why should it be weird to be carrying a rifle/shotgun here of all places? Why is it weird that I would want to protect myself?
Why is it weird that, even if we aren't in any danger, I might decide to want to plink or something?
What the fuck /k/ommandos help me out here. Am I in the wrong?
I cant stand the thought of not bringing a weapon on a trip like this honestly. I can't think of a more appropriate scenario to be bringing a gun.
