Whether by design or accident, it removes concealed-carry provisions from the mix and basically allows state gun laws to take precedence in any National Park.Onoz! This is a national park! What makes those Congressmen, bought and paid for by the gun-lobby, think that what will work on the other side of that invisible line will work in here?

BTW, anyone know why I can’t get “margin” tags or invisible gifs to put some blank space between the image and the article text?

I am pretty much OK with this because it is a federal crime to commit any kind of mayhem on any government reservation, military or otherwise as long as it is federal land.

I wonder if the wimp writing this article had to change his panties after he finished.

You mean you’re OK with state law prevailing? Me too. I just posted because I was offended by their dipweed Chicken Littling about it, like the sky was going to fall because, heaven forfend, the law will be the same in the park as everywhere else in WY. God forbid! There’ll be blood in the streets! Uh, trails. Blood in the trails.

“Still, the fact that Park Rangers must add gun enforcement to their list of duties is not the most desirable of outcomes.”
Why would they have to add gun enforcement to their duties? The citizens have a right to carry guns openly, these rangers don’t have any business enforcing anything unless someone starts shooting.

Yeah, wouldn’t there be MORE potential for enforcement time if there were MORE restrictions??? Liberals are idiots.

Wyoming is one of the many states that allows citizens to openly carry a legally registered weapon. Wyoming does not require registration of weapons.
To: Still Thinking
The problem, however, doesn't lie with responsible gun owners; it lies with irresponsible gun owners, and they, too, exist; there were issues raised by gun owners openly brandishing their weapons during Obama speeches in Arizona and Minnesota this summer, as they went out of their way to openly carry legal semiautomatic weapons in large crowds waiting to see the President. I think the writer of this hand-wringing diatribe might want to open a dictionary once in a while:
Brandish \ˈbran-dish'\ v
1. to shake or wave (as a weapon) menacingly
2. to exhibit in an ostentatious or aggressive manner
Wearing a weapon (as was done in Minnesota and Arizona) is not "brandishing". Unless, of course, Police officers are "brandishing" their sidearms as they wear them in public. No? Didn't think so.
To: Anitius Severinus Boethius
Yeah, I caught that too. Open carry may be legal but you certainly wouldn’t want to carry....openly. Or something.

I’m sure that had there been any actual brandishing going on, those guys would have been face down and cuffed. (Presidential visit or not, brandishing without cause is illegal here in AZ, where one of the incidents took place)

Tell Obama that. Maybe then he won’t be scared of Michelle.

And, quite bluntly, we can't think of many instances in Yellowstone National Park where anyone would need a weaponTypical grabber refrain. Quite bluntly, I don't care what they think.

To: Still Thinking
Don’t mean to quibble but misuse of the English language makes one look poorly educated, careless, and/or stupid. “Affect” is a verb. “Effect” is a noun and the correct word to use in this context. But if that is the original title at the linked article, then we can at least blame some school of journalism.
