An open carry picnic in Acadia park is being planed for the 11th of July, as a (hopefully) temporary farewell to open carry in the park.

Uh... Glacier National Park isn’t in Alaska.

[Double Tap]

The one outlier appears to be Maine, where the legislature voted to ban open carry in Acadia National Park

How does a state ban carry in a NATIONAL park?

Wouldn’t be to quick to challenge the Corburn Amendment just to overturn a state policy regarding open carry in a single national park.

If Corburn is overturned, the previous NPS policy will return. Remember that policy was effectively a gun ban in all national parks nationwide, regardless of state law.

I can live without open carry in one park because some bureaucrats in one state have a case of the willies. If the citizens of Maine want to live with it or change it, that is up to them. They hired (elected) the legislature, they can fire them and hire someone else.
