Confused

This was posted on GOA in May.

The Bush administration, after more than seven years, has finally issued regulations permitting the carrying of firearms in national parks. Gun owners will soon be able to carry firearms according to the laws of the state in which the park is located.

It's about time, though it doesn't ahve any effect on me directly. So far I haven't been caught carrying concealed the few times I've been in a national park.

While not perfect, the proposed regulations, which are likely to take effect at the end of June 2008, represent a sharp contrast with the steadfast refusal to allow for self-defense in national parks.

Now I'm confused. Are the regulations changed or not?

In the House, there are now three bills that would open national parks to carrying firearms as regulated by the state in which the park is located.

If Obama is elected he'll surely reverse what Bush proposed, and veto any such legislation if it should miraculously pass.

And in June

Senator David Vitter (R-LA) is planning to introduce a concealed carry reciprocity bill next week.

Good luck with that one too. There's just too many Dems in congress.
