Today, the long-standing ban against carrying guns in national parks passed into history. If you’re legal to carry in the given jurisdiction, you’re now legal to carry in a National Park situated there.</p>
It’s about time. It’s no secret that criminals strike as far from the eyes of the police as they can, and you don’t get much farther from them than in the wilderness of National Parks. It’s equally well known that predators prefer helpless prey. As a result, National Parks and such attracted some evildoers who thought “Deliverance” was a training film. A few years ago, a man from the Gainesville area was murdered in such a sanctuary by a psycho who said he wanted to find out what it felt like to kill someone. The victim, who normally carried a licensed gun, had told friends that he was uncomfortable camping without a firearm with him but was scrupulous about obeying the law. This left him helpless to defend himself.</p>
Our friends, the Gun Rights Examiners, are all over this. Liston Matthews explains in his segment HERE how, contrary to the false wailings of those who would ban private ownership of firearms, self-protection is covered by religious mandate. It is so in virtually every belief system. I recently met Liston for the first time, and found him as sharp in person as he is in print.</p>
Meanwhile, old friend Dave Workman notes how the anti-gunners and their sympathizers in the mass media are putting a grotesquely false spin on this simple return to a basic American freedom, not to mention the cornerstone Human Right of self-defense. You can read his incisive take on the matter HERE.</p>
I expect to see a reduction in violent crimes against the person committed in public parks next year, as a direct result of this wise change in the law.</p>
Heck, I can almost hear the banjo music fading now…</p>
