Read the article by Andrea Stone and see how he/she tries to lead the reader astray from what is actually happening. He/she muddies the waters between conservation and self protection. Yes, Roosevelt could not hunt, shoot, trap in National Parks where these activities were not allowed all in the name of "Conservation" gun slingers will not be hunting either when it is not allowed. I will bet ya my life's saving that when Obama toured Yellowstone National Park there were LOTS of guns in very close proximity on National Park Grounds. Did someone forget to tell the sitting president that guns were not allowed in National Parks and the Secret Service would have to:
"According to historian Douglas Brinkley's "The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America," the park's superintendent "issued a stern statement declaring that the president's gun would be sealed by the U.S. Army when he entered the park, just as with every other citizen."
I don't think so?
However, crime is also not allowed anywhere and it still happens. When was the last time you took a stroll though a National Park and needed a park rangers assistance? Mother natures creatures like to eat as well and little tikes make yummy snacks for cougars, bears, gators and other animals high on the food pyramid.
Next time I take my family for a cruise down Colonial Parkway and if I unfortunately come across someone that requires the use of a firearm for protection, I will be sure to ask the victim if they feel firearms should not be carried by those who have take it upon themselves to be licensed, trained and courageous enough to exercise their second amendment rights in National Parks. Ok, I fibbed a little there but you get the point!
