Had he been hiding it, some smarmy lawyer could probably get him off on a technicality.

Well, I don't think state law applies here, since it is federal land and the nit-picks at the Park Service at that. Once again, I don't agree with what is going on, but I think this will be tried in federal, not state court.

If it was Federal land, then the regulations cannot forbid the carrying of firearms as per the Second Amendment. Even by the gun grabbers twisted logic.

They never should have allowed a Park Ranger to confiscate their possessions.

About 10 years ago I took my BB gun to the Pictured Rocks National Park. I had thrown in the water (Lake Superior) several sticks and was shooting them. Other than my wife, no one was on the beach. A Park Ranger came up from behind me and asked what I was doing with a firearm in the Park? I told him three times it was a BB gun. He had to walk over 100 yds. of sandy beach to get to me, so he knew what I was doing and what I was armed with. He had his hand on his sidearm the entire time.
According to the rules, BB guns, slingshots, crossbows, bow and arrow are all considered firearms!! He escorted me to my truck where I put my firearm behind the back seat of my truck. He took my name and said if it happens again I would be cited.
If it can happen here in the U.P. of MI, I can only imagine how bad it is elsewhere.
