Don't really know if this is the place to post this - so feel free to move it if I've posted it in the wrong location.

I did a search on the forum and didn't find anything that looked similar.

Got this from Patricia Stoneking (KS):

There is a movement by several congress members to remove the prohibition of firearms in National Parks. These links will take you to a petition that you can sign to help with this movement and to the original letter sent to Kempthorne. It is in support of the letter from the US Senate to be delivered to Dick Kempthorne (Secretary of the DOI). Please pass it on to anyone you know. The letter from the Senate was just recently delivered so it's important that we follow it up quickly with this petition. Thanks!

The petition is found at:

The original letter sent to Kempthorne is at:

It will be interesting to see what happens with Carlsbad Caverns since it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. That means that the UN has input into the operation. How much?

Signed. Here is another thing we should all join together in signing.

I signed it....not too many signatures yet. Gary Hilton should certainly be motivation to reconsider the law that was originally put there to address poachers.

Personally, National & State Parks are areas that I weigh the risk of carrying versus not carrying. I go hiking & camping with my girls (wife doesn't like camping). And yes, I carry in these areas. I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6. And the opinion is strengthened when I consider that my kids are there with me. I will do everything possible to keep them safe. In the woods where we go, the only thing between a BG and my kids is me. And I want to ensure that the odds of being successful in a confrontation are as high as possible.

I'm amazed how much sway the members of this board can have. All it takes is for someone to say "hey, hit this poll" and wham its done. bravo
