[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3552060, member: 5412"] I will be in grizzly country sometime this year. Some will be in the back country fly fishing. Sometimes by myself because I prefer to go further in than most for pristine waters. This is what I gleaned from the National Park Service. [SIZE=6][B]Firearms in National Parks[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][B]Possession of Firearms in National Park Units[/B][/SIZE] In areas administered by the National Park Service, an individual can possess a firearm if that individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm and if the possession of the firearm complies with the laws of the state where the park area is located. 54 U.S.C. 104906. It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable Federal, state and local firearms laws and regulations, including laws authorizing or prohibiting concealed carry, before entering a national park. Some parks are located in more than one state or locality which means that the applicable laws may change depending upon where you are located within a park area. If a park is located in a jurisdiction where the applicable state and local laws grant reciprocity to non-resident firearm owners, then consistent with the applicable law, the park will equally recognize the reciprocity. For information on state and local laws, please contact the state and locality where the park is located. [SIZE=4][B]Possession of Firearms in Federal Facilities[/B][/SIZE] Unless expressly authorized, Federal law prohibits the possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon in NPS facilities. These buildings include, but are not limited to, government offices, visitor centers, ranger stations, fee collection buildings, and maintenance facilities. 18 U.S.C. 930. [SIZE=4][B]Use of Firearms[/B][/SIZE] Unless authorized, the use or discharge of a firearm within a park area is prohibited. 36 CFR 2.4(b) and 13.30(c). In parks where hunting is specifically mandated or authorized by federal statute, firearms may be used to hunt in accordance with NPS regulations and state laws. 36 CFR 2.2. [SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0000][B]Visitors should not consider firearms as protection from wildlife.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][B]More Information[/B][/SIZE] The information provided on this page provides a general overview of the rules about firearms across the National Park System. If you have questions about the firearm rules in a particular park, please contact that park for more information prior to visiting. So, I'm allowed to carry an anchor, (in red)but not use it in self defense from a griz charge? I should allow myself to be mauled and possibly killed to stay within the law as a good citizen? I'm sure I'd feel hunky dory about that while the face is being separated from the skull knowing that the law was being followed as written? What the hell? [/QUOTE]
