Ban on loaded firearms in national parks may be lifted

 

The U.S. Interior Department plans to revise regulations banning loaded guns in

national parks, and park rangers and green groups are up in arms (figuratively,

of course). Current rules, which require guns to be disarmed and stowed away

within park boundaries, " are not unduly burdensome, but are limited, reasonable,

and necessary, " says the president of the National Parks Conservation

Association. Concerns about the safety of wildlife -- not to mention people --

don't sway gun-rights advocates. " Law-abiding citizens should not be prohibited

from protecting themselves and their families while enjoying America's national

parks and wildlife refuges, " says a National Rifle Association lobbyist. At the

request of 50 senators (and, according to one NPCA staffer, " pressure, top down,

from the White House " ), the revised rules will be presented by April 30 for

public comment.
