Time Is Running Out To Protect Your Right-to-Carry: Comments MUST Be Received By Monday!
Friday, June 27, 2008

One of the most basic rights we as lawful Americans enjoy is the right to defend our families and ourselves. The right to self-defense should not end simply because one crosses an invisible boundary line and enters a national park or wildlife refuge.

Under current law, if you carry a loaded, operable firearm into any national park, trail or monument, you are violating federal law and may face criminal charges, even if you possess a legally issued permit to carry a concealed handgun in that state.

Want to see the Grand Tetons or the natural wonders of Yellowstone? You could end up with a criminal record! Want to take an autumn ride down Virginia’s Skyline Drive, or take your family for a drive to see the wonder of the Everglades? You’re in violation. And you don’t even have to leave your car. Just turn down a public road!

This is the current, dangerous situation that will continue to exist if you don’t take action right now.

The U.S. Department of the Interior has issued a proposed rule to eliminate, once and for all, this prohibition on Right-to-Carry in national parks and wildlife refuges. NRA is leading the effort to change this policy and we are very close to winning this important battle.

These new rules cannot take effect until after a period of public comment. And make no mistake; our opponents are aggressively ramping up their efforts to try to convince the Secretary of the Interior to reverse his decision.

To combat this effort, you must take a few moments to submit comments on this issue by June 30, 2008, by going to this web site: http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=090000648053d497

i've sent my comments on this before, this is a subject that definately needs attention.

AFA i'm concerned, every place should be firearm-legal. especially federal/govt properties.

'schools' are protected by the bans, even columbine, and VT through their own regulations, at least.

i hate to say it, but they just didn't turn out so great... maybe we should try reversing the idea?

No, they’re just going to tax “businesses”!
