How to carry a gun across federal lands
<p>In America, the federal court generally rules that the second amendment of the constitution is implied to be more restrictive than liberating, so carrying a firearm on federal property is often illegal in states where there are relatively few restrictions on the right to bear arms, like in NH. The laws on firearm use, carry, and ownership are notoriously byzantine.</p>
<p>I'm wondering how NH citizens who legally can carry as per NH law could legally and openly carry a firearm despite federal restrictions? Some locals want to pick up trash here in NH and openly carry pistols to normalize (make acceptable) bearing firearms. Is it sometimes legal to carry if there is a federal building along the way? The goal is to walk along the easement. Is it ever/always/never legal to use the easement of federal land along a NH road while openly carrying a pistol despite not being active duty military/police? If the easement is irrelevant, the same question applies.</p>

<p>Federal rules concerning carrying firearms generally apply only to federal buildings, military bases and Indian reservations. National Forests, BLM lands and National Parks are governed by state law.
