You've got to give the boy king credit where credit is do. Just like when kids are playing chicken, he stopped right when the latest court declared the Bush ruling of carrying in National Parks illegal....dang he is one smart Chicago pol...

April 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration won’t challenge a court ruling that prohibits visitors at some national parks to carry loaded concealed firearms, satisfying gun control groups.

The Interior Department said in a court filing yesterday that it will uphold a U.S. District Judge’s decision to reinstate 26-year-old restrictions on loaded guns in national parks and will conduct a full environmental review of a Bush administration regulation allowing the weapons.

Unless you use the Clinton approach,

Don't Ask, Don't Tell...

I'm sure the criminals that go to the parks will adhere to the rulng as well.......

Signs at the gate should read:

Welcome Victims!
Rules of Yosemite National Park.

Please comply with all criminal demands for your camera's cash, jewelry, food, and let them have their way with your wife and daughters.

Our studies have shown that you have a decent probability of surviving by appeasing your attacker.

Wild animals attack so infrequently, that you should not be in any danger. Play dead for the bears,...

Thank you, have a nice visit.

How about a big Rambo style knife? or Chinese throwing stars? or a tactical sling shot? are they banned also?

I'll just not go into National parks.
And, I'm sending letters to everyone I can think of and telling them that if I can't protect myself in the parks, I just won't go.

This has been the rule from the time I was born. Hypothetically speaking, has it ever stopped anyone from sticking a handgun in their car/back pack? ..crickets....coughing...taking of the fifth all around.
I don't like the move and would love to see the rule overturned, but I will only say that most people's camping style will not effected.

In my younger days I did a portion of the Appalachian Trail. Up in New Hampshire I remember that there was an 8" length restriction (on knives ) in the Presidential range (national forest or national wilderness I can't remember which). Does anyone know if this is still the case?

Yes, but now would be the time to make a point of the absurdity of the ruling, since it's in the limelight.
I've always had a gun in the vehicle when visiting parks (I don't think that was illegal, just CCW...someone correct me if I'm wrong). I just kept it locked in a case while in the park.
Closest to me is Andersonville and the last time I was there I just locked it in the truck.

Andersonville is a National Historic Site.   (Help me with the difference.)

One of the problems is where local, public roads traverse park property, as is the case here with Kennesaw National Battlefield Park.  Technically every time I drive through the park on a state road, I'm in violation of the law.

In a true renegade, rebellious, DRTV Ranger, American Way!

This is preposterous!.

It is run by the National Park Service.....at least one would think so since it portals through their management service.  ??

It depends on the park and each one has different guidelines for firearms from 'none allowed' to 'may be transported if locked and unloaded'.

Anybody??
