WASHINGTON -- People will now be able to carry concealed weapons in some national parks and wildlife refuges.

The new Interior Department rules allow an individual to carry a loaded weapon in a park or wildlife refuge -- but only if the person has a permit for a concealed weapon. The state where the park or refuge is located must also allow guns in parks.

The rule overturns a 25-year-old regulation that has restricted loaded guns in parks and wildlife refuges.

The previous regulations required that guns be unloaded and placed somewhere that is not easily accessible, such as in a car trunk.

Hmmmmm - we are not even allowed to carry ANY weapon in some parks - so how does this rule change the old rule? Only carry if we have a CCW?

I'm confused - - -
