National Park Carry Question?
Question – something just occurred to me concerning the ability to now legally carry in National Parks. As far as I know it is legal if, one, the state the National Park is located in issues concealed handgun permits, and two, if there is no state law prohibiting carrying in parks.
Now, take for example, California. Although they do not recognize a Texas CHL, they do in fact issue CHLs or the equivalent. As far as I can tell they do not have a specific law prohibiting the carrying of firearms by CHL holders, so the question is this…
Could I legally carry my handgun via my Texas CHL while on the property of the National Park, in such a state, even though I could not legally carry it outside the National Park?
I would be on federal property and meeting the criteria, as I understand it, for legally carrying in that National Park. Is there a possible loop hole here.
I know this issue may be a wide a deep grey area, and I don’t intend to ride the ragged edge of legality, but I would be interested in others’ opinions.
