any thoughts on the continued existence of big red signs saying no guns allowed, including details that CCW is not exempt, etc? I was at Joshua Tree last month and they still have big red hard to miss signs on the doors, and I'm curious if this is the case everywhere? I am guessing some states or parks depending on Rangers may have taken the signs down.
I'm still not completely clear whether the changes only apply to CCW holders, but it appears state gun laws should extend into the Parks. To add to the confusion, one site seems to indicate you always could transport unloaded firearms through a park, while the signage at Joshua Tree seemed to indicate NO GUNS period.
HA article, linked here on 2nd page asks how this will play out in Joshua Tree...apparently the staff tries to ignore the new law? I was uncertain of the law when i saw the sign so I didn't mention it but may next time. Even with all the restrictions in CA, there are many exceptions, for example , a rifle in your campsite or open unloaded carry of a pistol..
Anyway enough details, main point here is have you seen these signs, are they still up in other Parks, and what would you do if you saw one?
