National Park Service to educate public on gun rights

Americans will be able to carry loaded guns in National Parks starting on February 22, 2010 thanks to the COBURN AMENDMENT attached to a credit card reform bill signed by President Obama earlier this year.  That Congressional mandate immunizes Americans from the National Park Service’s gun carry BAN provided that the gun carry does not violate any other state or federal law.

Most states allow both open and concealed carry of loaded firearms in public places, though typically concealed carry requires a state issued license.  Another wrinkle is that some states regulate gun carry inside vehicles more strictly than gun carry on foot, while other states do the reverse.
