Concealed Handguns Allowed in National Parks
“U.S. national parks will open Monday to holders of concealed firearms as a hard-fought law passed last year takes effect, but both sides expect more battles over exactly what the legislation means in practice.” (New York Times, Monday)
Gun-free zones are dangerous.

“Banning Handguns Would Save Lives? It Just
Ain’t So!” by Clayton E. Cramer

The Freeman headline for this story was somewhat misleading. To be accurate it should have read: LICENSED Concealed Handguns “Allowed” in National Parks. This would have made clear that ONLY those State sycophants who have stooped to “beg, pay and register”: with the government for the privilege to exercise their natural right can defend themselves and others and emphasized that they were being “allowed” to do by the State what any free man should unequivocally be protected by society in their RIGHT to do!

Even though the disarmament crowd is not noted for their rational use of gun data, history will record that when responsible adults have the necessary tools all parts of society can be safer.
