Most people with concealed permits have the guns in their cars anyway when they pass through these parks.. (such as YellowStone)

Not sure how big of a deal this is. I am however opposed to the practice of slapping things you want to get by congress onto bills that need to/will be passed.

Interesting. I've carried my gun, concealed, into a few national parks already ever since I got my conceal carry permit. I didn't realize it was illegal. Oops.

Whats more frustrating is how Colorado doesn't have reciprocity with Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin since I travel through those states quite a bit during the summer. There are so many laws when it comes to guns that its hard to follow them all.

Exactly. Good law; dirty method on getting it passed.

Yeah.... wait didn't Obama spike an executive order by Bush that allowed the exact same thing? If so than thanks alot Mr. President, we would have gotten a carry permit for my dad for the hike through the Appalachians.

Anyone know if this passed or when a decision is to be made?

i though the President had the authority to veto a part of a bill but pass the rest of it?

i think its called line item veto....

The Supreme Court ruled that the line item veto was unconstitutional shortly after it was implemented.

Too bad states can't figure that out. But states reserve the uncanny right to wipe their asses with the constitution anyways.
