Firearm carry law is being updated for National Parks

[SUBMAN1]

Woo hoo! Its about time they get rid of these draconian laws. So many times I read about people getting robbed, mugged, raped, and killed, and so many times I here about park rangers getting killed because of this stupid law. The criminals hang out in the National Park because no one can be armed there. No one can fight back. Now that is all about to change. No place will be safe for the criminal in the future.

$5 says crime in National Parks is about to drop off the deep end to near '0'. I refuse to camp even in a National Park because of this stupid law. Now I will be able to peaceably.

U.S. Department of the Interior - News Release - Interior Announces Final Firearms Policy Update

"WASHINGTON, D.C. – Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Lyle Laverty today announced that the Department of the Interior has finalized updated regulations governing the possession of firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges. The final rule, which updates existing regulations, would allow an individual to carry a concealed weapon in national parks and wildlife refuges if, and only if, the individual is authorized to carry a concealed weapon under state law in the state in which the national park or refuge is located. The update has been submitted to the Federal Register for publication "

I can see the need to carry a weapon out in those places but I really don't see why it would be preferable to carry concealed.

Morts seriously do you have something against allowing us to make our own laws in our own country?

[Morts]

So you don't think it's wise for a person to carry a firearm when they're hundreds of miles away from civilization? Why not?

I think any man with half a brain could see the wisdom in carrying when out in the wilderness. It may be a case where Europeans don't quite understand in that you could drive 100 miles in this country and not see a single bit or building or inkling of civilization.

But I don't think that is what is going on here.

Morts has realized how pathetic his own laws are and has given up. So he is directing his attention at the one Western civilization left that still has some respect left. Its a jealousy thing, nothing more. No other explanation.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: is that your best shot ?
cause then i honestly feel sorry for you

Well I for one are really interested in hearing what Morts has to say on the subject instead of taking "shots".

What is so ridiculous about letting people carry a firearm when they are out in the wilderness?

[Morts]

I just cant see the point in having a firearm with you unless you're out hunting, at the range or its part of your job.
then again im used to rules concerning guns that are, compared to american laws, very strict and i like it that way

[MothBalls]

Hell I never knew it was against the law. Any time I've ever gone camping or fishing in the National Forrest I've always carried a weapon with me. I have a carry permit so I guess I can do it legally now.

You're in the middle of nowhere. In addition to the criminals who intentionally stalk these areas because they know (or think they know) people don't have a way to protect themselves there's also the danger of the wildlife. It's just common sense and survival.

It wouldn't bother me knowing Subman was behind me with a weapon. Wait.... rephrase that.... It wouldn't bother me knowing Subman was in front of me with a weapon, I'd feel a little safer.

Perhaps it's because you don't understand the sheer size of our wilderness areas. I mean you can literally be weeks away from civilization. If anything happens you are basically on your own, no law at all out there. In that situation a firearm might be the difference between life or death.
