Much to my amazement, yesterday the National Park Service (NPS) has released a proposed rule amending their regulations to align their firearms restrictions with State concealed carry laws.
The entire rule is available online at the Federal Register website.
edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/E8-9606.htm
quote
SUMMARY: The Department of the Interior, through the National Park
Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service, proposes to amend
regulations presently codified in 36 CFR part 2 and 50 CFR part 27,
which provide guidance and controls for the possession and
transportation of firearms in national park areas and national wildlife
refuges. The proposed amendments would update the regulations to
reflect current state laws authorizing the possession of concealed
firearms, while maintaining the existing regulatory provisions that
ensure visitor safety and resource protection such as the prohibitions
on poaching and limitations on hunting and target practice.
DATES: Written comments will be accepted through June 30, 2008.
The only hope of seeing this rulemaking finalized is if there is overwhelming support from the public. If you are in favor of theses changes, SUBMIT COMMENTS. You can be sure the entire anti-gun world will submit comments against the change
