Dogwalk: Keep Guns Out Of National Parks
Regulations to keep firearms unloaded and inaccessible in our National Parks is being reconsidered by the Interior Department, currently headed by our (Idaho) own former governor. I hope the
urging by former directors to leave well enough alone prevails. Yes, crimes are committed within the boundaries of the Parks. These have included rapes, killings, assaults, robberies and kidnappings. Just like the general population. This is divvied up among some 391 parks, monuments and recreation sites and 270 plus million visitors. Would carrying loaded weapons help this number of incidences decrease? If anything I’d think it might increase. Those who would suffer the most would be the wildlife who have few places left to call home and be safe except from the dictates of nature/
