No Guns in National Parks (for now)

Looks like good news for bears (a other wildlife) at least the month of March.

The U.S. District Court Judge blocked the rule which allowed visitors to carry concealed, loaded guns in national parks and wildlife refuges.

The ruling was issued by the Bush administration back in January as they were leaving office and was reviewed by former Colorado Senator Ken Salazar when he became the new Interior Secretary.

The Interior Department is expected to issue a statement about the gun rule in the next month.

It was never a good idea anyway to use guns as protection against wild animals. There are other ways to protect yourself like carrying a bear spray instead.
