On February 22, a new law on guns in national parks takes effect. The law repeals a National Park Service rule that has long prohibited Americans from lawfully possessing firearms in national parks for self-defense.

However, many details remain to be worked out. Reports indicate that National Park Service officials are debating issues such as the definition of \”federal facilities,\” where firearms will remain prohibited under a different federal law.
