I haven't seen anything hard but this post from VCDLs Sentinel Blog and Snowflakes in Hell Blog suggesting that we should see the new rule around Oct. 8th. We shall see.

I had the opportunity to attend both The Legislative Policy Committee, and also the Hunting And Wildlife Policy Committee, which I’ll talk about later. All the NRA committee meetings are starting out this year with a disclaimed about the Biparisan Campaign Finance Reform Act, and asked if anyone was working as an employee of a volunteer for a campaign for federal office. Committee members or attendees who raised there hands were asked to recuse themselves from the proceedings as to avoid any charge of “coordination”.
After that Chris Cox went into his address. Although Norton’s bill has been voted out of committee, if the House leadership lives up to their end of the bargain, it will be HR6691 that ends up getting passed. Once out of The House, it will be an uphill battle to get the Senate to pass the bill before the end of their session, but NRA intends to try.
The next big issue is the National Park rule change to allow carrying of firearms for self-defense. We were told that the new rule could be expected on or around October 8th. Cool.

Gun Blogger Sebastian of Snowflakes in Hell is attending the NRA Board of Directors Meeting and just reported news from the Legislative Committee Meeting.
The word is that the the new National Parks rule will be out around October 8th. In comments to the post, a DC attorney, lobbyist, and fellow gun blogger, Countertop, agrees with that assessement.
Based on the latest VCDL alert regarding the movement of the Senate bill, we are about to see some action on this front.
