[Dredly]

Anyone have a link to the new law allowing carry in State Parks? i'll be in Worlds End this weekend and their website still states no uncased weapons.

Thanks

That's an unmarked draft, portions of which were stricken before final passage. The ACSL has updated their online version of the UFA to include the recent changes.

Look under §6109. Licenses. (m.2)

Out of curiosity when did this "allowance" come into being.

Out of curiosity when did this "allowance" come into being.

It was last year, in November or December I believe.

[gnbrotz]

It went into effect on December 17, 2008 (60 days after being signed into law).

Thanks!

Did that National Park injunction get revoked ?????

[gnbrotz]

As far as I know, the original rule change (which permitted CC) was suspended by a court injunction, pending arguments and a final ruling (which I don't believe has happened yet). That means it's currently not possible to legally carry in National Parks, but there is still hope that we will be able to do that again at some point.
