    Default CC in National Park Sites?

    I may be going to the Tea Party at Independence Mall on Saturday. The site (Independence Hall, Constitution Center, etc) falls under the auspices of the National Park Service. What's the present status of CC at National Park sites?

    Thanks!

    There is an injunction against carrying in Federal Parks. You cannot carry in a Federal Park.

    I feared so. The irony is thick. Thank you for the information!

    There is a bill in the works that will change all of that and National Parks will follow the same rules as the state that they are in.

    As a DC cop once told me, if you aren't waving it around, no one will know that you have it.

    According to the sheep at the Brady Bunch, Obama (unsurprisingly) flip flopped on the issue. He was orgininally for allowing CCW but now he wants to let the ban continue.
