Guns in parks
Apparently, the bill has an opt out provision. And Maine is looking at opting out. I can’t recall if it has such a provision but I’m certain the bill does say that carry is contingent upon following local laws.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

“Democratic Sen. Stanley Gerzofsky favors the ban and says families should have places to go where they know there are no guns.”
And how exactly am I to “know” there are no guns there just because they are banned? Are they going to put electric fences around the park and metal detectors at the gates?

Actually, substitute “think” or “assume” for “know” and you probably have an accurate statement.

The opt-out provision is state law. If a state makes a law that says National Parks are off limits, that’s it. They’re off limits.

This looks like a Nullification debate, and you kind of have to wish the state well. It will certainly bring up the question of the National Parks’ constitutionality, and that real zinger, whether the 13th can be incorporated upon the states. Can the federal government legislate liberty? Used-ta-could.
As I recall it, the men of Maine formerly held an opposite view but hey, change is good. JC Calhoun would be proud of them! The Killer Angels of Bowdoin, maybe not so much.
