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?

Good point. Hopefully, the Tea Party Gov. gets elected and he’ll veto such nonsense.

The new law subjugates the park’s carry rules to those of the state.
If the state says you can’t carry in a park, you can’t carry in a national park located in that state.

And this is the problem, which methinks the Obama may be planning on: too many people who haven’t read the law will think they know it and do something illegal.

Sound like you haven’t read the law in question. I suggest you do.

OOOPs! Missed this part of the story:

The Coburn Amendement is legalizing gun carry in National Parks (if legal under state law), Still I think it’s illegal.

“How does a state ban carry in a NATIONAL park?”

The way the law reads, if a state bans guns in their state parks, they would also be banned in national parks within that state.

I think you could challenge the law if they didn't ban them in their other parks in the state.
