Today the Department of the Interior announced a rule change
that
would allow concealed firearms in National Parks.
The new rule comes with plenty of restrictions however.
Only persons with concealed handgun licenses would be permitted
to carry, and then only if they met all the requirements of
the state in which the National Park was located.
In Oregon, Crater Lake
is our only National Park, so Oregonians with CHL's will now
be allow to protect themselves, however, since Oregon recognizes
no other states' licenses, visitors to our state will still
be at the mercy of criminals there.
