I added another post about this, we need more positive input in the comments section. There is at least one poster who would love to do away with our rights under the 2nd Amendment.

Read the comments.

Seems to me that target shooting in a National Park should follow the same rules for the rest of the state. You can shoot in the National Forest as long as you are 300' off the roadway and not shooting across a road, and not in a campground or other prohibited area.

Gary Marbut authored an excellentreport about shooting on privateproperty in Montana, which reads, "While a person may be charged with disorderly conduct for firing firearms, application of that charge requires the charged person's intent to disturb the peace and riotous or tumultuous conduct, and such charge does not apply to firing at a shooting range."

It seems to me that this same burden of proof would be required for someone target shooting in a National Park.

The point is that there is NO TARGET SHOOTING IN A NATIONAL PARK if you do, you will go to jail.
