It is illegal to carry a firearm in any National Park. And anyone who follows that law in bear country is an idiot.

That is what I thought. And I agree about having a gun in bear country. Here in Maryland we have black bears that are starting to move into the suburbs, just like in New Jersey. Well, if you are a bow hunter, like I am, you can not carry a gun when bow hunting. Apparently a fresh deer bow-kill makes a easy meal for a black bear. Things in the Western part of the state are getting bad. Because there is no hunting season in Maryland and there is a hunting season in Pa and West Virginia there are a lot of bears in the area, causing alot of personal property and livestock damage. I have a feeling that alot of bears are being poached because of the lack of a hunting season. It is sad really.
