A few months ago pro-gun Congressman Ron Paul (TX-14) introduced a bill that would prohibit any regulation barring carry in National Parks!
The bill number is HR. 1897, the National Park Second Amendment Restoration and Personal Protection Act of 2007.
--
ACTION ITEM
Currently there is only one cosponsor of the bill :-(
That cosponsor is none other than Virgil Goode, Jr. of Virginia (R-5)!
We need to get the word out so we can get a lot of cosponsors on this bill.
If your Congressman is Virgil Goode, contact him and thank him for signing on to HR. 1897.
If your Congressman is NOT Virgil Goode, then you can contact them by clicking here:

I urge you to cosponsor and help move Congressman Ron Paul's bill HR. 1897!
HR. 1897 will allow law-abiding gun owners to be able to carry a handgun for self-defense in a National Park.
The Department of the Interior has refused to seriously consider changing their current regulations to allow citizens the right to self-defense, even though crime is on the rise in National Parks.
Congress needs to act to protect the lives of innocent citizens.
Please let me know what you are going to do.
