Is carry legal in Yellowstone?
Pretty sure DJT got legal carry in National Parks pushed through. Sounds like this was outside the park, though. Probably a bunny-hugger that wouldn’t carry if her life depended on it...and these are the results.
Yes, unless Pedo Jo changed the rules.

Yes. But you cannot fire it even in self defense:

Montana has constitutional concealed carry but a few towns/cities (like Bozeman) require a concealed carry permit.
It’s a pity about this lady...this happened in my county.
Sort of. It isn’t lawful to fire them.
West Yellowstone is a town. The area is Buttermilk creek I think, and outside the park boundary. Unless one is hyper vigilant and uses a chest rig, and is a good shot under pressure . . . Grizzlies are quick, as fast as a 1/4 horse. Grizzlies often attack, that’s . . what they do.
What I’ve noticed is the perennial reporting, it tries to split that baby, and imply that it is always the natural order of things for bears to be fearful of humans by sight alone and run away, and only when they become “food habituated” do they lose their fear of humans. I wouldn’t take that bet.

Most “parks” do not allow open or conceal carry, so you must wear a shoulder holster and a light parka to hide it.
YES!!! Since 2010.

Per Google:
Yes, guns are permitted in Yellowstone National Park
Park visitors are able to openly carry legal handguns, rifles, shotguns and other firearms per a federal law approved by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in February 2010. Concealed weapons are allowed by state statute.
