House votes to allow guns in national parks
By MATTHEW DALY – 58 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has voted to allow people to carry loaded guns in national parks and wildlife refuges.
The House approved the measure, 279-147, on Wednesday, one day after the Senate acted.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., sponsored the measure, which would restore a Bush administration policy allowing loaded guns in national parks. A federal judge blocked the policy in March, and the Obama administration did not file an appeal.
The gun amendment was attached to a bill imposing restrictions on credit card companies. The measure now goes to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it.
So does all this add up to meaning that in 8 months, and 20ish days we will be able to carry loaded firearms sorta in San Francisco? According to the map it looks like we can walk from the Presidio across the Golden Gate even. Can't wait for that!Protecting the Right of Individuals To Bear arms in Units of the National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge System-
The Secretary of the Interior shall not promulgate or enforce any regulation that prohibits an individual from possessing a firearm including an assembled or functional firearm in any unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System if--
(1) the individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm; and
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the State in which the unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System is located.
It's not quite that simple. Go to californiaopencarry.org and read the "what is loaded" link.Maybe my question is better phrased as such:
Since it is legal in CA to carry loaded in unincorporated areas, does that mean any national park qualifies as an unincorporated area, and hence we are allowed to carry loaded there?
In my opinion, the way this law was writtenthe "building prohibition"could be challenged....The "Federal Building's firearm prohibition" will still stand however. I guess we get to pee in the parking lot...
I still don't get it, maybe I have my stupid hat on today or something. I know I can't carry loaded in an incorporated area, which San Francisco most certainly is. But in the Presidio and other parts of the Golden Gate Recreational Area I'm not sure if I am still in San Francisco. It would seem to me that I am in a National Park, which is separate from San Francisco city and county.It's not quite that simple. Go to californiaopencarry.org and read the "what is loaded" link.
AFAIK, National Park status doesn't necessarily imply that it is unincorporated.Maybe my question is better phrased as such:
Since it is legal in CA to carry loaded in unincorporated areas, does that mean any national park qualifies as an unincorporated area, and hence we are allowed to carry loaded there?
