'It became illegal to pack heat in national parks in the early 1980′s under the Reagan Administration. '

Anyone know why?

I just did a search on it. Seems that most of the articles focus on Reagan making it a law that firearms needed to be empty and stored in trunks, etc. while in a National Park.

HOWEVER - one article said a ban on any guns in the parks was made in the 30’s to limit poaching. So it sounds like Reagan relaxed the rules. (And Bush even more so).

One more HOWEVER though. Guess which Governor of California outlawed open-carry in California? Yep - Ronnie. In response to the Black Panthers in parades and on the capitol steps with loaded guns. I’m always reminded of that, and other things, when some candidate doesn’t fit our 100% image of the True Conservative.
