My S&W 629 is a little difficult to conceal, but I wouldn't want to be in Glacier or Yellowstone without it.

It seemed a bit like a disconnect to me, as people who live in pleasantville and might not feel they need a gun might really like one when they are being trailed by a cougar in the middle of the badlands. That disconnect seems especially severe when you consider people like the above commenter, who are unable to obtain a CCW from their home states. It seems to me like the bush administration, for once, is succeeding, in having brought so much attention to this issue, and i can only hope it does indeed pass. Any idea if they would be able to pull off the same injuction nonsense on a law as they did on a lawful rule change? Is there anything the average citizen can do to encourage this to be made law?

I read the wire release on this and you can never tell if the reporter is really correct when talking about details like this. Many of the states where I (as a WI resident) cannot have reciprocity for CCW allow me to carry openly w/o a permit, so this will actually matter for me now! It's too bad it's attached to such a terrible bill, though. I think it's going to either a) kill the bill, or b) be dropped by the reconciliation committee. This was good to see.

I can't find any Florida statute barring possession of firearms in National Parks. Where did you get your information about Florida law?
