Title 36, Chapter 1, Part 2.4(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Chapter, a person may possess, carry, and transport concealed, loaded, and operable firearms within a national park area in accordance with the laws of the state in which the national park area, or that portion thereof, is located, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable federal law.Title 50, Chapter 1, Part 27.42(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Chapter, persons may possess, carry, and transport concealed, loaded, and operable firearms within a national wildlife refuge in accordance with the laws of the state in which the wildlife refuge, or that portion thereof, is located, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable federal law.
Now, to make two key points abundantly clear:
- ONLY CONCEALED CARRY IS ALLOWED
- STATE RESTRICTIONS APPLY
For the thick among us, that means:
- Open carry is not allowed (as in you don't reveal the thing unless you have a very good compelling reason to)
- State law is not trumped in any way
OK, I stand corrected.
Yet. With Heller in our corner now, we should be able to eviscerate those other idiotic restrictions on a case by case basis.
That sucks.
If I want to carry in the Grand Canyon I'd better do it before Jan 20, when Obama is sure to have this policy reversed.
