« on: August 24, 2013, 08:31:06 PM »
Today I took family that came to visit to mnt Rainer.we saw numorous doe and dawns with spots.so on the way home I decide to stop in the hunting spot I was at on opening day and go figure.the day I dnt bring my gun with because can't bring it into mnt Rainer park so I left it at home.so stopping by my spot I came up on the blackberry bush and looked down the path.there they were. A cub and momma bear.and she was big.they were about 100 yards ahead of me.wouldn't have shot anyways if I did have my gun because it was a sow with a cub.but what luck huh.

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to have/carry firearms in national parks. I know you can with handguns, and I don't recall a specific ban on long guns.

The law governing possession of firearms inside a national park changed on February 22, 2010.

Visitors may possess firearms within a national park unit provided they comply with federal, state, and local laws.

The role of the responsible gun owner is to know and obey the federal, state, and local laws appropriate to the park they are visiting.

Please remember that federal law prohibits firearms in certain park facilities and buildings. These places are marked with signs at public entrances.
