[Rick Deckard]

I've been camping in the Picacho area for years. Only recently have I heard about the back roads being used for alien smuggling. When I was at Picacho in July, the park ranger asked me if I saw a Suburban roar through camp loaded with people. That question surprised me. To get around the Border Patrol checkpoint at Winterhaven (just west of Yuma), the smugglers are driving on 40 miles of bad road to circumvent it. And my liberal friends wonder why I bring firearms with me when I'm out in the boonies.

I thought it was illegal to bring firearms onto park land. Is this a case of "better to be tried by twelve than carried by six"?
