Unarmed people are in danger in the National parks. No license needed

Monday night two people were shot along the Blue Ridge Parkway and a manhunt is underway. Even if they catch him, it doesn't do the victims any good.

This isn't unusual. There are many murders and many more assaults in the National Parks. The reason is pretty simple. They are remote and until recently, the only ones with guns were criminals.

That's not the case now. The laws were changed and now...ANYONE WHO CAN LEGALLY OWN A GUN, CAN CARRY IT IN THE NATIONAL PARKS!
For some reason the mainstream media thinks only licensed people can carry a gun there. That simply isn't true in Virginia. The rule is that the Parks Service must follow state law. In Virginia one only needs a license to carry concealed. Anyone that can legally own a gun can legally carry it openly without a license.

There is no reason to be a victim in the National Parks now!

This is a memo written by the Parks Service to it's Rangers. There is a mistake on the carry of long guns that I've written about before, but at least the got most of it right.
