This week, 94 years of history were overturned when a law went into effect allowing guns in National Parks. Advocates of the new law say that it is long overdue because guns have been allowed in often adjoining National Forest and other Federal lands for many years. Those against the new law argue that guns don't belong in US National Parks because it still remains illegal to kill any animals and most rangers still do not carry weapons. Guns, they argue, will just increase the chance of deadly accidents and intensify any confrontations between park visitors (or between park visitors and wildlife).
So, what do you think? Is your next RV Vacation camping packing list going to include bug spray, food, and your rifle? Or, do you prefer that guns stay out of National Parks?
