Right To Carry In National Parks One Step Closer
This just in from the NRA:
The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), through the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, today issued a proposed rule to amend regulations prohibiting firearms in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges.
The proposed rule was filed today and will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow, and can be found online at: http://federalregister.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2008-09606_PI.pdf.
It provides sixty days for public comment.
These new regulations will provide uniformity across our nation’s federal lands and put an end to the patchwork of regulations that governed different lands managed by different federal agencies. In the past, only Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Forest Service lands allowed the carrying of firearms, while lands managed by DOI did not.
The mere right to transport firearms through National Parks means you won’t have to go around one of our scenic National Parks while on your way to go hunting, or to a sporting event involving guns.
I’m hoping the new rules go into effect before summer vacation.

Note that the Oregonian’s attitude is more like ‘when we want your opinion, we’ll give to you’ when it comes to second amendment rights.
Their editorial board endorses Obama. Endorsing Obama is the same as saying ’surrender your firearms.’ Leftards.
