No guns "allowed", so I NEVER visit "National Park's"!
I have found that there is plenty of uncrowded land to play on where I DO go armed, when no one points the nice places out by making "Parks" out of them they are usually not so overused.
Bears are the least of the problem outside AK, thugs, druggies and rapist are all very fond of the "NO GUNS" NP law!
Remember the three women killed at Yosemite a couple of years ago?
No guns for them, just rape and death.
Boycott any place that does not allow you to go armed, every time you can.
I heard that one of the most dangerous--if not the most dangerous--law enforcement job is that of park ranger.
And it is dangerous not so much because of animals, but because of human criminals in the parks.
