Last January, we were in Wyoming on one of those snow coach things going into Yellowstone.

Of course no one was armed on that trip as it's illegal to carry in a National Park.

I don't recall ever being in a National Park and not being armed.

Of course, that's just me.

I'm one of those radicals that believe fully in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and I've yet to find anything that says it is null and void simply because the land is owned by the US Government.

Which, by the way, according to that same US Constitution and Bill of Rights, is supposed to answer to me.

I don't flaunt it, but I will not surrender my rights simply because of where I happen to be at the time.

I can understand some degree of "control" on our land, but only as it relates to protection of animals from poachers.

An ottherwise law-abiding citizen should be able to exercise his/her 2nd Amendment rights at all times, most particularly on his/her own land.

And the National Parks belong to me, and to you, and to you, too.

If you're a citizen.
