The original Department of the Interior regulatory proposal provided for concealed carry in national parks subject to "the laws by which the host states govern transporting and carrying of firearms on their analogous public lands." In short, if you could carry in a state's parks, you could carry in a national park in that state. The "analogous public lands" provision was dropped from the final DOI regulation.

The new federal law (Section 512 of Public Law 111-24) provides the following:

Quote:
(2) the possession of the firearm is in compliance with the law of the State in which the unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System is located.
Note that the federal law says nothing about complying with rules for state parks. The only things that matter are whether (1) a state allows concealed carry and (2) there is no state law that specifically bans concealed carry in national parks within the state.
A State can't have a statute, that prevents carry on Fed. property....
