Citizens have an opportunity to register comments on-line regarding a proposed rule change allowing concealed weapons in National Parks.
"The federal government is considering a proposal to allow visitors to carry loaded, concealed weapons in some national parks, wildlife refuges and monuments," as explained in the New York Times.
The proposed rule is supported by the N.R.A. "But opponents, including several former National Park Service officials, say that the current rules are effective — there is little crime in national parks — and that the change would threaten visitors’ safety and could easily ruin the family-friendly atmosphere of the parks and other attractions." - NYT
