The Department of Interior is considering changing the regulations on guns in national parks. The current policies, allow unloaded and properly stored guns in parks, and protect the rights of gun owners and visitors' safety equally. The proposed new regulations would allow people with concealed carry licenses to carry in a national park in a state if they are allowed to carry in state parks in that state.

Do You Support Guns In National Parks?

As part of our Youth And Gang Violence Prevention Programming NCGV and members are working with at-risk youth to establish a library "satelite" branch at Lyon Park Community Center. For about a month now NCGV has received books donations from across the Triangle and thanks to these donations we will be ready to soon open up the lending room. The project came out of our Teens on Target program, a program designed by teens to teach teens about the dangers of gang violence, relationship violence, and gun safety.

On April 16, 2008 in over 90 cities across the country, citizens just like you will be commemorating the Virginia Tech Massacre and protesting lax gun laws. As most of you know had Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-Hui records been uploaded into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) he would not have been able to purchase the guns he used in the campus shooting.

North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole has reportedly joined a movement to allow individuals to carry firearms in our national parks. The movement begun by Republican Senator Mike Crapo from Idaho is pressuring the Department of the Interior to remove the federal ban on guns in our currently gun free national parks. According to reports by extreme North Carolina gun rights organizations Senator Dole has written a letter to the department asking them to lift the ban—in effect opening the door to all park visitors to carry concealed weapons provided they have a permit.
