National Park Service Infringing on Lawful Carry

[VFORVENDETTA]

I'm wondering how going into a "federal facility" not directly associated with law enforcement or the military would automatically be established as a gun-free zone. Some banks erroneously think that because their FDIC insured, that makes them a "federal facility", but that's been put down in every instance of its attempted application. A visitor center in a national part hardly requires such a prohibition, especially since the carry in the park itself is allowed, and since the visitor center and the cave are part of the park, the "federal facility" rule is (or should be) not applicable.

I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

What about a bank that has been taken over by the FDIC? It's happened a few hundred times in the last few years.

Stopped by a Department of Homeland Severity facility.

Saw lots of claptrap about DHS, USCG, "military"(spit) and No Trespassing.

THERE WAS NOT AN AMERICAN FLAG TO BE SEEN!

Still not a "federal facility".

Because the law says so. 18 USC 930

FDIC does not equal a federal reserve bank. FCIC is basically an insurance policy.
I've had this argument before. Most recently with a little dingbat manager at the local Krogers. They have a bank inside. I don't shop there anymore. A shame really, I remember when the property they built the place on was trees and grass. They built the place pretty fast too, I remember the first few weeks after the grand opening, watching the sparrows fly around inside the store. They got shut in, as the building was finished.

According to the board of governors of the Federal Reserve, "It is not 'owned' by anyone and is 'not a private, profit-making institution'. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects.
