Michael Bane Hits the Nail on the Head

In case you haven't heard or left your comment yet, the government is accepting comments until August 8th on removing the ban on the possession of firearms in National Parks in states that have Concealed Carry laws.

Comments can be left here.

The original deadline was back in June but it was extended.

Anyway. Michael Bane, host of the TV shows "Shooting Gallery" and "Cowboys" on the Outdoor Channel, has a post up on his blog with his comments on the issue.

MB's comments are probably some of the most thought out and best stated you will read. Really, a fantastic perspective on the need for CCW in National Parks (and in everywhere else as well).

One of his points is about how predators use the remote areas of parks to prey on victims. This is a topic I talked about back in late March in the post "Disturbing." It is the story of a 24 year old woman attacked, kidnapped, raped, murdered, and decapitated. All of which started on the Appalachian Trail.

Go to the site and leave your comments in support of the measure to allow the carrying of firearms in National Parks.
