Yes, and I think it is a formula which will cause an increase in vehicle break-ins and gun thefts. It is easy enough for a thief to spend plenty of time hanging around the parking lot, tinkering with his "gear" until someone pulls up, and shuffles some stuff around in their clothes and car before trotting off to the restroom. Aha might be a gun so let's break in and check it out.

If they are calling restrooms federal buildings (and in a lot of national parks, may of the restrooms are nothing more than fiberglass outhouses) does that apply to picnic pavilions, shuttle-bus shelters, etc.

A very shortsighted regulation, and why exactly. Actually, I think a restroom is a very likely place for a mugging.

So, i was driving back from a week of work in jersey late last night (around midnight) and on some little AM station they were talking about the National Park carry law, and how great it was that the Brady campaign was able to sue and get the ruling over turned.. (i have no idea what show or station, i had the radio on scan and would stop it when i heard something interesting.)

I didn't see any mention of it here, so i searched the web and I'm not finding a whole lot, but i did find this on another forum, and on the post:

No more than you do, perhaps less. Some federal judge decided to "block" it. Gotta love how the system works. We may need to start a new thread or get the OP or a mod to change the title on this one.

Already a thread here:

I'd love to know what "legal grounds" the soccer mom judge used.
