Is it permissible to O/C in bomb bay hook?

I've only carried there while hunting and that was my shotgun. It is a National Wildlife Refuge so I would guess that you'd need to reference federal gun law... not sure about state law. I'll do some research and see if I can find an answer.

Reynolds referred to Sec. 512 of P.L. 111-24, a provision of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, which was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in May 2009.

“It directs the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to follow the applicable state and local laws regarding the possession of firearms, open and concealed carry, in national parks and national wildlife refuges,” Reynolds said.

(8) The Federal laws should make it clear that the second amendment rights of an individual at a unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System should not be infringed.

(b) Protecting the Right of Individuals To Bear arms in Units of the National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge System- 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 if--

I'm pretty sure that the source is from Federal law. Even so, it wouldn't cover parks at a state, county or city level jurisdiction, only National Parks and Refuges.

My understanding is that Federal law now follows state law with regard to firearms on the national park land, excepting the buildings on that land.
That is essentially what I see in the text above right at the end.
