CCW in National Parks
Is CCW in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges still OK? I've read both yes and no.

Your good to go... The only question is buildings?

Check post 21 in this thread. That seems to answer your question.

Obama can't suspend laws already on the books. This took effect Jan. 9, before he took office. If he wants to kill it, he must go through the same year long rule making nonsense that we had to wait for to get it changed in the first place.Originally Posted by CopperKnight

That's pretty much what post 21 says, it just goes into more details. I forgot the thread title would show. Didn't mean to mislead as to the contents of the post.

Yes. It was my understanding that carry could take place in the parks but certain buildings could be marked where it is not permitted.

Cool! Are National Forests and Wilderness Areas up to the state? That's where I like to hike around here.

National Forests and Wilderness areas have always been ok for concealed carry as long as you have a concealed carry permit valid in the state the forest is in. The new law extends nearly identical rules to National Parks and Wildlife Refuges.

I would add a caution...some states (like Tennessee, unfortunately) have laws against carrying in parks, national forests, etc. Since the NPS rule says state laws apply, one cannot assume that a blanket good-to-go has been given. One still must know the laws of the state in which the park is located....

I just noticed this in Washington Post article about the lawsuit the Brady Bunch filed:
HossThe rules change would take effect before President-elect Barack Obama takes office in January. Overturning the rule would take months or even years if the Obama administration wanted to, since it would require the new administration to restart the lengthy rule-making process.

Just spent 2 weeks cycling and hiking in a NP on the US - Mexico border. Only place posted "No Carry" is the visitor center. No problems anywhere else.
It was nice be legally carrying here.

I was uncertain also about whether the new rules were being followed at some local parks, so I emailed the Ranger in charge.
A week later I received a reply stating that CC was indeed okay with a state issued permit.
