Anti-Gun Group Sues to Stop Concealed Firearms in National Parks and Wildlife Refuges

An anti-gun group is suing to stop a last-second Bush administration change that would allow Americans with state issued permits to carry a concealed firearm, to carry loaded guns in most national parks and wildlife refuges.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence sued the Interior Department in federal court on Tuesday.

... these morons can't seem to understand that when we go into National Parks and Wildlife Refuges ... we're no longer at the top of the food chain.

... wait until one of these bleeding hearts lose a loved one to a mountain lion or a bear... maybe one to a pack of wild dogs before they realize that we need means of personal self protection.

... knowing their trend though, they'll make some other excuse for it.

My concern upon staying overnight in a National Park is my fellow man and that's the reason I would carry.

Mine too. The justification for this Bill ... I believe, was to protect the people from certain wildlife.

... I don't really trust either wildlife or people...

Yep, ditto - I fear the two-legged beasts more than the four-legged.
A person who has been trhu the rigamarol of getting a CCW permit isn't going to be stupid and do something to lose it - or his right to own a gun period. The CCW carrier is the SAFEST person carrying a gun out there!

This is typical Brady Bunch arseholism at it's worst!

I'm curious to know on what grounds they could sue.

"Your Honor, we feel it is our right to violate the Second Amendment, negate CCW laws and ignore the recent Heller decision."

Is that what they are argueing?
