I have been doing some research into a couple people I've heard, getting ticketed for carrying a loaded rifle, while driving their ATV's. Although I wasn't looking for that particular information, it got me thinking that if they can ticket someone for carrying a loaded rifle, what is to stop a game warden from ticketing or arresting someone for open carrying a holstered pistol while, say, crabbing or fishing?

The Secretary of the Interior shall not promulgate or enforce any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm including an assembled or functional firearm in any unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System
as long as:
(1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm; and
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the State in which the unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System is located.
Although the above is federal, State law says:
RS 56 §1691. Possession of firearms
A person who lawfully possesses a firearm may possess or transport such firearm within the boundaries of a state park, state historic site, state preservation area, wildlife management area, or wildlife refuge.
However, the hunting pamphlet, on page 64, says this, and more:
Firearms having live ammunition in the chamber, magazine, cylinder or clip when attached to firearms or crossbows cocked and in the ready position are not allowed in or on vehicles, boats under power, motorcycles, ATVs/UTVs, ATCs or in camping areas on WMAs.
Isn't that in contradiction with the wording of the state law?
