National gun rules for national parks
OUR OPINION: SENATE MOVE TO CHANGE MODEST LIMITS IS PURELY POLITICAL
Welcome to the American national park system where the camper in the next space over may be packing heat. What a peaceful thought as you try to snooze under the stars.
Yet, there's a letter circulating in the U.S. Senate that has attracted 47 signatures including that of Florida Republican Mel Martinez, aimed at easing federal regulations on the carrying of firearms in national parks.

I gave them my .02 >:(

The MIAMI HERALD! If I had the money, I'd have whomever makes those static clings of the little dude peeing on the Chevy or Ford logos make me one of the little dude peeing on a MIAMI HERALD newspaper. All that paper ever seems to do is print anything negative and derogatory about guns, the people that own them and anyone that is simply pro gun.
Sending them your .02 is all well and good. Just wish we could force them to print what we say. lol I think I've sent them a total o 2 or 3 editorial rebuttals to the same amount of editorial anti-gun garbage they've printed. About all it did was allow me to vent.

I'd rather be tried by 12 then carried by 6!

You know Haz, I read the article, took my own CCW class advice (BRASS), and started into them in the comments section as others from this forum had obviously done. Then I recalled what I had seen for myself when my son went to college in Miami. Hotel room was burglarized. Saw a strangulation in progress as we drove to campus for orientation. Armed guards at the fenced hotel parking lot, and last but not least, the gunshots caught on tape from our room balcony as the beautiful moon shone over the Biscayne Bay. I actually drove around town with my .40 under my right thigh.... If they are STILL anti-gun for self defense at that paper, they must be willing prey, and so be it. Go figure! Mac.

WOW College in Miami (pronounced Me-om-e), brave kid! Got a friend who has a daughter going to school in Philly. I pray for her all the time.

The daughter looked at school in Philadelphia. Said it was nasty and went to Boston. Now, she is a neighbor of yours, and I feel good about that. See you on the range one day soon. She kinda likes my old Model 66, 2 1/2" with .38s. Mac
