Since when are firearms legal in a national park? Color me sceptical about this story.

As a former NPS Ranger, I concur. Unless he was not in the National Park and in an adjacent National Forest.

The main reason why I may never visit a National Park or live in an area frequented by large, protected-status predators.

Our ancestors killed off large predators for very, very good reasons. We are fools to be so cavalier about reintroducing them.

I am wondering if you could shead some light on a disease that rabbits contracted while I was growing up in rual Georgia. It was a disease that we locally called RUBBER RABIES. It would come on them at night especially on dirt roads. Some think it may have been triggered by someone shinning a light on them which caused them to go into the attack mode. The little buggers would then sit right out in the middle of the road and start pawing the the ground fixing to charge. If you weren't fast enough, they would run right up to your pickup truck and BITE OFF YOUR TIRES. To counter this action we used to put one or two people in the back of the pickup armed with shotguns and rifles. Fortunately for us we were always able to gun down the savage rabbits before any harm befell our truck tires.

Have you ever heard of this horrible animal plague spawning on the west coast?

is it legal to carry firearms in national parks in Alaska? what would happen to me if i did carry to defend myself, but it is illegal?

just trying to learn the situation.

thanks for your contribution
