My understanding is traditionally State and National parks have followed local gun laws. Texas now having OC, I assume this would be the same, but I have not looked into it since OC became the law of the land. Any information otherwise I would be grateful to hear.

Not traditionally, but as a matter of law enacted on May 22, 2009, and which became effective February 22, 2010 that covers National Parks, Forests and Wildlife areas. And of course TX State Parks fall under TX laws. But my posted on the rush response was more towards thinking about not carrying in places like any of the buildings in the Federal parks/forests (including fee collection stations and park stores) and to serve as a reminder that you need to make sure that you are in property that allows for carry as the OP didn't say where he was going to hike (I.e., you can't in COE property).

Why do some feel the need of desire to all the sudden start dressing like they are fighting in a war combat zone? How did you guys survive this long without all of the tactical gear?

Mojo - How have you survived without it ?

Kidding aside, I don't intend to put this on and go shopping at Walmart. My honest thought was it might be a great option when hiking/camping because my pack has a waist wrap/belt that makes a gun on belt/waist very uncomfortable.

Providing of course that OC is allowed where you hike.
