WASHINGTON - People will now be able to carry concealed weapons in some
national parks and wildlife refuges.
The new Interior Department rules allow an individual to carry a loaded
weapon in a park or wildlife refuge - but only if the person has a permit
for a concealed weapon. The state where the park or refuge is located must
also allow guns in parks.
The rule overturns a 25-year-old regulation that has restricted loaded guns
in parks and wildlife refuges. The previous regulations required that guns
be unloaded and placed somewhere that is not easily accessible, such as in a
car trunk.
