But, to offer more food for thought: the national parks are now apparently OK to carry a non-concealed weapon. I wonder how that'll play out while in CA - does federal or state jurisdiction take precedence?


From the Shenandoah NP website, you have three hoops to jump through -- federal, state and local:

Firearms in National Parks

The law governing possession of firearms inside a national park changed on February 22, 2010.

Visitors may possess firearms within a national park unit provided they comply with federal, state, and local laws.

The role of the responsible gun owner is to know and obey the federal, state, and local laws appropriate to the park they are visiting.

Please remember that federal law prohibits firearms in certain park facilities and buildings. These places are marked with signs at public entrances.
