So today the new federal law change kicks in, where law-abiding citizens can continue to abide by the laws of their state.

Of course, much hysteria is coming with this, but I get the feeling this will be a lot like when concealed handgun licenses were coming about. All the predictions of death and destruction, OK Corral style shootouts in the street, and in the end the result was quite the opposite effect; in fact violent crime statistics went down. Gee.

One cool thing tho is the National Park Services website is to be updated to provide information on the laws of that particular state. In poking around this morning I’m finding the website to be inconsistent, some park entries having information and some not. If they are there, it tends to be under the particular park’s website, under Management, under Laws & Policies. Hopefully it’s just a matter of time before the entire website is updated.
