VA-ALERT: VCDL vs National Parks, Round 2!

VCDL has presented a **new** Petition for Rule Making (PRM) to the
Department of the Interior (DOI)! The PRM asks for a change in the
National Park Service's rules which would require that each park
assimilate the gun laws of the state where the park is located.

As you might recall, VCDL's original PRM was turned down by the DOI
under the flimsiest of grounds, two years after they received the PRM.

The new PRM takes into account the "concerns" that the DOI had with
the original PRM and adds new, stronger language with additional
justification for the request.

This effort falls on the heels of the letter that 47 US Senators sent
to the Department of the Interior requesting that the rules be changed
to allow law-abiding citizens to carry in National Parks.

The DOI is now under pressure from at least two different directions
to fix the National Park Service's firearm's regulations.

The fight continues!
