WARNING: Guns barred from national parks until Feb.

As might be expected, the Obama Administration is going to put off our right to CCW in National Parks as long as they can, which would seem to be Feb. 2010!

Govt: Guns barred from national parks until Feb.

WASHINGTON - The Interior Department says a new law allowing loaded guns in national parks and wildlife refuges will not take effect until next year.

President Barack Obama signed the gun law Friday as part of a measure creating new rules for the credit card industry. But the Interior Department says that because the credit card law won't take effect until nine months after it is signed, the gun measure also will be delayed.

Spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff said the Interior Department will follow Congress's directive and put the new firearms law in effect in late February.

Until then, rules adopted under the Reagan administration will remain in place. The rules severely restrict guns in the national parks, generally requiring that guns be locked or stored.

That's hardly the Administration - that's the way the bill is written.
HR 627, from thomas.gov

SEC. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE.

This Act and the amendments made by this Act shall become effective 9 months after the date of enactment of this Act, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act.

Librarian has it correct. You piggyback something on a bill with an implementation date and it doesn't get implemented either until then.
