Hi all..
I recently visited Mammoth Cave. After doing some research, I found the 2010 NPS law that states open carry is allowed in the park unless prohibited. Now, I've read countless of threads around here and other states that imply the only prohibited places are the Visitor's Center and Cave Tours. Well, turns out that's not quite accurate..
As I was headed down the walkway to the cave, all was going well. Then, as I approached the stairs that lead into the actual entrance, a small white plaque caught my eye. To my dismay, it was a "Firearms Prohibited" sign.
In other words..
Open carry is PROHIBITED in Mammoth Cave, whether on a tour or not, starting at the stairway leading down.
Just thought I'd let you folks know.. As always, individuals carrying should be looking out for such signs and in general have good situational awareness. But doesn't hurt to know in advance
