I didn't see a thread, so hopefully not a dupe.

I am not sure if the National Park rules within MD borders follow the state's no-CCW restriction for state parks.
VA and PA and WV are totally free to CCW except in NPS buildings (from what I understand).

"A woman walking along the C&O Canal Towpath near Point of Rocks on Wednesday night narrowly escaped after being attacked by a man who she says watched her begin her route, then staked out the trailhead, waiting for her to return."
and
In a last-ditch effort to scare him off, the woman told her attacker that she could not believe he waited for her. She lied and told the man she had taken a picture of his license plate earlier, prompting him to grab at her phone.
The woman finally broke free after she threw her phone, prompting the man to release her and go after the device. She ran away and used her Apple Watch to call 911.
and
A press release from the Park Service on Thursday described the attacker as a white man with a medium to heavy build who is approximately 6 feet tall.
He had a red or strawberry blond beard and was wearing a baseball cap, a dark hoodie, dark pants and a pair of boots at the time of the attack.
