National parks are restricted, but "all federal land?"  I don't think so.

It would be difficult to keep up with all the myriad regulations on all of the
places we travel.  However, I follow the old law officer's adage:  "It's better
to be tried by twelve than to be carried by six."  I never carried a handgun
while riding, but there is *always* one in the camper.  "Moving" is not always
possible, let alone practical.
