I always carry when hiking in National Parks. Most of my trips are in the Southwest. Lots of critters to defend against (human and animal). The sign below is in Coronado National Park (S. AZ), which abuts the border with Mexico. Almost every other hiker we saw on the trail was open carrying. The Park Rangers were heavily armed, and wearing body armor as well. We just left the firearms in the trunk to go into the Visitor Center (which was posted).
