Hi, I just read a rather thought provoking article that also tended to make my blood boil at times. In the article it says people really do not need guns. Another person says that people have no right to use guns to defend themselves against wild animals in the park, if they think this way they should stay home. Being tracked by a bear, myself, on a trail on the ORegon coast, I know this guy is complete moron and thinks wild animals are predictable. I wonder if it was his own child attacked, if he would still talk like this.
Its really disgusting, everyone from law enforcement, forest rangers, to anti-gun libs promoting an agenda that only rangers should have the right to defend themselves, but citizens deserve to be victims. he says if people carried guns, everyone would start using them on each other. Its insane. I am so sad, but I will never go visit Mt Rainier National Park because of these draconian laws that go against my constitutional rights.
I would like to ask a forest ranger why they feel they need a gun hiking in the woods, but the rest of us, who may even be more well trained with a gun, cannot have one?
Unless you can frisk every person who comes to this forest and impose North Korea like regulations on the citizens entering the park, the sanctuary you dream of is really a prison camp to the law abiding citizens. I highly doubt every person is going to be happy with a strip search at each parking lot or trail entrance. I met a woman who was raped and left for dead in the forest, the forest rangers were no where to be found.
Anyone have news about current updates on leglislation with carrying guns to Mt Rainier?

“There should be places where we don’t have to worry about people running around with guns. It should be a sanctuary,” she said. “The national parks should have that feel, a place you can go and not worry about the person in front of you on the trail having a gun.”
