In the rural areas I usually just leave my Springfield Armory XD 357 on my work belt as GPSr, cellphone, and about another dozen pouches make it appear to be Batman's utility belt. In urban areas I usually leave it in my vehicle, or just slide it in my pants butt forward behind my right hip , or in fobus holster with spare mags. Sometimes I will carry a CZ 82 pistol in my waistband. And my CC card always.

I've had no problems here in Louisiana with USFS LEO's or even LDWF Enforcement Agents (Game Wardens)or other LEO's. GC's seem most numerous on Kisatchie National Forest. There are even three located on the LDWF Wildlife Management Area I am assigned at. One of the technicians formerly assigned was a real obnoxious person at times. I always try to go out and "greet and meet" fellow geocachers at Actually, I Get It? GCZBPB, which is at the front of our compound. Personally, I haven't had problems of any type with LEO's once I explain what I am doing( Even before I was a state employee).
