Moving it up again..

If you hold a concealed weapons permit, you know that it has always been illegal to carry a concealed weapon on federal land, especially federal parks which are not authorized as hunting grounds.

Not saying that Osama-bama isn't going to take away our right to bear arms, he IS...but this instance is not a good example of what he's doing.

Obama is using the U.N. in attempt to eliminate certain imported weapons (namely, almost ALL of them!) to the US, and is pushing the micro-marking of serial numbers on all ammunition sold in the USA for "tracking purposes".

Kind of like the "mark of the beast" (the beast would be Michelle Obama..have you seen that cow lately? Bow legged pissed-off 60's throwback ultra-feminazi!)

Not true. You could always carry in a national forest or recreation area. As of about 3 years ago you can carry in a national park.

Checkpoints are slowly becoming all too common. Soon, the sheeple will be conditioned to accept a police state existence. All movement will be controlled, monitored, and subject to search. The only thing that can stop this from happening is complete collapse. Either way... we're fucked.

People at the firing range I go to leave their brass and others pick through and take the ones they want for reloading...leaving metal isn't littering to me...leaving paper targets and other garbage is littering though.

We take cases of soda to blow up, beats a paper target unless you are sighting a gun in for the first time...there's no way to pick up all the shrapnel of the exploded cans...and tannerite just evaporates after the explosion.

When I left Tahoe to return home I had to go through one of these checkpoints as well, it was weird to me because I was on the CA side returning to socal.

Just police up your brass when your out there so the Feds don't have a reason to keep eating donuts and have to respond to natural areas looking like a zombie shoot out with beer cans, brass and cigarette butts.

No one rules if no one obeys.

No poaching on the King's Land!

It's your public land, it is King Obama's preserve.

You might be interested in the origin of Ghillie suits. Scottish game wardens used them to catch people hunting on the king's land, people who were just trying to feed themselves and their families - on the English version of our National Parks.

interesting bit of trivia on the ghillie suit, thanks.

I added it to underscore what great lengths the King's henchmen will go to protect his lands.

Now US National Parks are becoming surveillance hotspots with remote cameras and recorders, license plate readers and the like.

These parks and lands need to be given back to the states or to the people. In some states, FedGov owns close to 90% of the land.
