« Airsoft guns and knives are next | Main | Quote of the day--Dick Cheney »

This restriction has directly impacted me for years. Barb and I love visiting National Parks. If we get this through then our visits will be far less stressful:

Bush Administration to Propose New Rule Regarding Right-to-Carry in National Parks

Reading the fine print what this really means is that a major offensive has been opened in our battle against the anti-gun bigots on one front. We probably will win but we still have work to do. This is just a commitment to go through the process, including public input, to change the policy. Barb and I have a rule regarding good news. We'll believe it when "the check clears the bank".

Thanks go to former Idaho governor Dirk Kempthorne (currently Secretary of Interior), Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), and NRA-ILA.

Yeahbut... I live in the PRK of Kaleeforneeah... (permit? what's a permit?)

This appears to mean that if you are permitted for concealed in a state you can carry in a national park located in that state.

Heh.. I wonder what this means to folks who are visiting national parks which cross state boundries.. Are they going to provide lockboxes at the border.

Better half a loaf than none, but still half a loaf.

What about federal pre-emption? sigh..

"What about federal pre-emption?"

It's there. I heard about it once. As I recall it's known as the "Second Amendment" but that's only a rumor.
