which of the "precious resources of the National Park System at risk" are they refering to?
also, i did not know there was a prohibition on firearms in wildlife refuges in the first place. i have done some great hunting in wildlife refuges.
really, this is ridiculous. the people who the article is refering too as being able to carry in a park are already licensed to concealed carry. which means they have gone through a thorough background check (not convicted felons), fingerprinted, and state required training. i don't see them as much of a threat or any risk.
if someone wanted to blast one of jellystones bears i doubt they would used a licensed concealed carry handgun. it would most likely be unlicensed joe redneck and a sixpack plinking and hitting one by accident or not. and his actions would be as illegal now as they were before.
sorry joe, didn't really mean to single you out.But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

A) You WILL be apprehended.
B) You WILL be at least fined, maybe some jail time.
C) You WILL lose your carry permit.
D) Most likely you will forfeit your right to ever own a firearm again.
Yes I am aware you are just being a dick, I was just pointing out how much of a dick, but you knew that.
