National Park Service Rule Change

National Park Service Rule Change

You are probably aware that the National Park Service is changing the rule about loaded firearms in national parks to conform to the surrounding state. So, if the surrounding state allows concealed carry of handguns by permit holders (or in the case of Alaska or Vermont, by anyone who can legally possess a handgun), then you can carry in the national park within that state.

Well, shock of shocks, the Brady Campaign has filed suit to block this rule change, claiming, among other things, that the rule would allow carrying on the National Mall in DC (even though concealed carry is very tightly restricted in DC) and Ellis Island (where the surrounding state is New York). More details of the idiocy at Arms and the Law.
