I am going camping this weekend in a Federal Park in Texas. I have a CHL. As I understand it, I am fine to bring my loaded, concealed handgun now.

The Obama administration has not been able to overturn the change instituted by Bush.

Correct?
Depends which park. If it is a Corp of Engineer's 'park', then no, you can't. If you are talking about a 'National' park like Big Bend, then yes, can carry there. See http://www.nps.gov/bibe/planyourvisit/firearms.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

EDIT TO ADD: You still can't carry inside the buildings. Loophole question; if you have to use the restroom in a National Park, do you have to leave your weapon in the vehcile??
I was thinking that since I can make a neat little "hammock" if I do not have a shelf to put my weapon on while I am conducting my private business in the bathroom...etc etc etc

I have to wonder how far we should allow the government to get into the bathroom with us... :totap:
