Unfortunately, there's some movement in the opposite direction: an attempt to move the USFS out of Agriculture and into Interior (same as national parks and monuments).

If our legislators don't fix the underlying law first, DoI will render national forests as "gun free" as national parks.

If Congress changes the law, the next president can't do anything about it except submit a request to change the law back.

If NPS changes the CFR, then it only takes a word from the next President to have NPS change it back.

I hope the congresscritters aren't mollified by this promise to change the CFR. I want them to go ahead and change the USC (which overrides CFRs), and make it clear that all federal agencies will assimilate the gun laws of the state in which they're located.

At worst, that will leave them no more restrictive than some states; at best, it will be considerably better. And in all cases, it will eliminate confusion for visitors, who often might not even know when they're on NPS property (ever been to Hot Springs, AR?)
