A dangerous and misguided rider has been attached to the Credit Cardholder's Bill of Rights Act of 2009 (H.R. 627) that will allow individuals to openly carry assault rifles, shotguns, and semin-automatic weapons in national parks if the firearm is in compliance with State law. As a result, individuals could attend ranger led hikes and campfire programs carrying loaded firearms at Yellowstone National Park, Shendandoah National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and many other national park units across the country. Sadly, the U.S. Senate disregarded the concerns of national park rangers and former Park Service directors who want American families and wildlife to remain safe inour national park. Click here to see how your Senator voted. National Parks Conservation Association, and Hallo Bay Bear Camp believe that shotguns and rifles have no place in our national parks and are currently hard at work trying to have this rider stricken. Contact your Senators and Representatives to stop this dangerous rider from becoming law. Take Action Today! Thank you
UPDATE:
Sadly, this has passed and guns will now be allowed in our National Parks.
