I'm sure it's been put on the backburner due to all of the other "crises" going on these days, but anyone know of any progress on this?

So here we are again, at the end of the second deadline...

I haven't heard of yet another extension, so I suppose this is supposed to be moving forward now.

Any news?

Any news on what's happening with this?

Anyone know of any progress on this?

Im glad we can carry in State Parks and with National Forests.

Yup, I've carried in Sam Houston National Forest. Unfortunately, the policies in National Parks do not match (yet), but there is movement in this area. It's possible that this may change soon so that state law regarding CHL will apply in National Parks as well.

Me too. My brother is out that way frequently, and is an avid hiker. I'd consider his frequent invitations more seriously if I were allowed to carry. If the law is amended to allow the states to have jurisdiction regarding the carry of firearms, the NPS would receive significant support from myself and associated friends who would make regular trips to Padre Island National Seashore (which I frequented regularly before I started carrying) and Big Bend National Park. As it stands, I opt to go elsewhere, such as National Forests (such as Sam Houston National Forest) and State Parks (such as Mustang Island State Park or Davis Mountains State Park). Out in the middle of nowhere with no cell signal and an LEO response time measured in hours is not somewhere I want to go unarmed.
