Q. Can I take a firearm anywhere I go in the park?
A. No. Federal law prohibits firearms in “federal facilities,” which are generally defined as federally-owned or
-leased buildings where federal employees work on a regular basis. Buildings that meet this definition will have
signs posted at public entrances noting the prohibition on firearms. In addition, privately-owned or -operated
facilities within park boundaries may not allow firearms, consistent with the laws of that state.-leased buildings where federal employees work on a regular basis. Buildings that meet this definition will have

And that begs the question, "If you were to drop it down the hole, how valuable would the gun have to be before you'd go in after it?"
