The Bush administration said Friday it is overturning a 25-year-old federal rule that severely restricts loaded guns in national parks.
Under a rule to take effect in January, visitors will be able to carry a loaded gun into a park or wildlife refuge _ but only if the person has a permit for a concealed weapon and if the state where the park or refuge is located also allows concealed firearms.
Silly rule to have gotten rid of…
Well, it’s about time. Some of the National Parks aren’t safe much past the visitors center, especially in the SW. It will legalize what a lot of people have been doing regardless. Soon, some of the parks will be safe after dark.
I wonder if the Obama Administration will reverse it?
Yes, it WAS a silly rule and I’m glad they got rid of it.
Finally I have had the CCW class, now off to the Sheriff w/$$ and get my permit. Then I will be a private citizen who will no longer be a sheep.
