New Laws Concerning Carry in National Parks go into Effect
On February 22, 2010 the new law allowing citizens to carry firearms in national parks in accordance to state laws and procedures went into effect.
Visitors may possess firearms within a national park unit provided they comply with federal, state, and local laws. Please remember that federal law prohibits firearms in certain park facilities and buildings. These places should be marked with signs at public entrances.
