OTH, we may well see the next administration's appointee punt it back and lose the right again almost as soon as we had gained it back.

Oh such a spoil sport. This is good news! Enjoy the moment.

They will apply the same rules of the state that the park is in:

Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Lyle Laverty today announced that the Department of the Interior has finalized updated regulations governing the possession of firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges. The final rule, which updates existing regulations, would allow an individual to carry a concealed weapon in national parks and wildlife refuges if, and only if, the individual is authorized to carry a concealed weapon under state law in the state in which the national park or refuge is located.

We Texas will be covered at the Everglades national park, and Floridians will be covered at South Padre and Big Bend.

This is huge folks, its a major coupe for the NRA who set the stage and for this to happen It's not only a concession to RKBA but an acknowledgment of the states rules and laws. I publicly promised that I would join the NRA if that got this one through. I reneged, I joined in September instead. Maybe the Army Corp of engineers will now see the way.
