New Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar comments today...
Would he consider reversing a decision made in the final weeks of the Bush administration to allow people to carry loaded firearms in the national parks, a U.S. Park Service employee asked, noting that park rangers already face a variety of dangers.
"We'll take a look at that ... I don't have an answer on that right now," replied Salazar, recounting that on his Colorado ranch "I always had a sense of comfort when I had my gun with me."
Asked what 11th-hour regulations from the Bush era that he might want to change, Salazar said he wasn't prepared "to say what we're going to do with any of them at this point."
As CO Attorney General a few years ago, he did rule that the Univ. of Colo. could exempt themselves from the statewide CCW permit system, making their campuses one of the few non-federally mandated places in the state where CCW was actually illegal. Of course, I can't really say whether CU's charter gave that them authority and he had no choice in the matter. Maybe his reputation as somewhat of an anti is not totally deserved?
I take some comfort in the very forthcoming nature of his quote. There is always hope...
