Bear Arms

Yippee! Now you can bring loaded guns into National Parks! I don’t actually have a problem with this the way I do about being able to bring loaded guns into bars in some states (I generally think the government should stay out of such things), but guns in general scare the crap out of me, so I want them as far away from me as possible.

From MSNBC.COM:

For years, federal law at National Parks allowed people to bring in unloaded weapons as long as they were stowed away. But starting Monday, that will change. Now anyone with a legal permit can bring in a loaded gun, concealed or otherwise, as long as it concurs with state laws.

…

The new federal law will have no effect on existing laws and regulations that are already in effect in National Parks that means hunting is still not allowed and guns are already banned from federal facilities like visitor centers.
