The U.S. Department of the Interior has issued a proposed rule to eliminate the prohibition on right-to-carry in national parks and wildlife refuges, and the National Rifle Association is urging people to make their voices heard.
The NRA led the effort to change this policy and is very close to winning the battle. However, the rules cannot take effect until after a 60-day public comment period. The group said anti-gun groups will take advantage of that time to try to convince the secretary of the interior to reverse his decision.
NRA members must take action now so anti-gunners cannot sway this process. To comment on the plan, go to www.doi.gov.
