Mebbe you should review the latest rules for weapons in National Parks, eh? Look it up yourself and you’ll remember it better!

Both Wyoming and Montana allow open carry, so visitors to Yellowstone can carry openly in the park. The Armed & Rangerous will tell you otherwise, but they are lyin’, something they are good at.

Note that buildings such as park offices and such may be poasted as gun free - after all, the bears have to have a chance to eat as you walk to and from the restaurant!

Or maybe he wanted to see if the guy had a flashlight in his backpack.

He was after the toilet paper!

Thanks for the info. The last time I hiked/camped in the Cascades, it was forbidden.

Cracker...see how easy it is. Next time just pass the info along.

I’m suprised they didn’t euthanize the hiker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....and you might not have believed me, resulting in a peeing contest. Join the NRA and you would have already known about it.

I was a member of the NRA for twenty years. I didn’t think they fought hard enough so let my membership lapse.

Ok... ok... the headline screams for the response; What did the bear charge the man with? Visa? Master Card?

Someone had to say it!

That too.
They did drive several gas stations out of business so that the nearest gas station to Yellowstone is over fifty miles away or some such.

Might as well feed hikers to the bear while they’re at it.

“I was a member of the NRA for twenty years. I didn’t think they fought hard enough so let my membership lapse.”

There are no restrictions on viewing their web page, and NRA-ILA responds fairly quickly to inquiries. There is also a move afoot to remove US Army Corps of Engineers restrictions in their facilities similar to the new NPS rules.
