CFR Title 36, 2.4 is said to relegate handgun carry in National Parks to the state in which the National Park is located. I have a question on that. If you read the code it says...
( h ) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Chapter, a person may possess, carry, and transport concealed, loaded, and operable firearms within a national park area in accordance with the laws of the state in which the national park area, or that portion thereof, is located, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Federal law.
It says concealed. I know that this code is interpreted to mean that state law is followed, but why does it say concealed? Does this limit those in open carry states to only conceal in a National Park? If not, why not?
