New Rule On Guns In National Parks Takes Effect February 22
On February 22, a new law on guns in national parks takes effect. The law repeals a National Park Service rule that has long prohibited Americans from lawfully possessing firearms in national parks for self-defense.
The new law, passed last spring by an overwhelming bipartisan vote in the U.S. Senate, will allow people to possess, carry and transport firearms in national parks, in accordance with state law.
However, many details remain to be worked out. Reports indicate that National Park Service officials are debating issues such as the definition of "federal facilities," where firearms will remain prohibited under a different federal law.

You’d be surprised the crime out in the parks. Illegal drug labs, and predators of the two legged variety. I don’t go to parks where I can’t carry, period.
I hope this is maintained.
