SUBJECT: Proposed rule repealing DOI gun ban should be changed to follow proven model of 36CFR261.8 which simply assimilates state gun laws onto federal
land
Executive Summary:
OpenCarry.org requests that the proposed rule governing gun carry in National
Parks, Wildlife Refuges, and certain other public lands be replaced by
incorporation of the proven rule on other federal public lands at 36CFR261.8 to
simply assimilate state gun laws. The grounds for this recommendation is our
strenuous objections to the proposed rule’s (1) unconstitutional ban on the open
carry of handguns, (2) unconstitutional and unworkable vagueness of the proposed
rule and its associated criminal sanctions, (3) failure of the proposed rule to
achieve the purported policy objective of obtaining uniformity in gun carry rules
across federal lands generally, and (4) trap it sets for otherwise law abiding gun
owners. In essence, the proposed rule plays a cruel hoax on Americans
expecting to carry handguns as they visit DOI lands around the United States.
