How much you want to bet she's a Clinton appointee?

Answered my own question. You would have lost the bet.

So, the enviros are concerned that concealed carry in the Parks is going to result in poaching opportunities and safety concerns for visitors. Yeah, that's it. You CCW people are just itching to plug a bald eagle or a spotted owl with your 9mm. And I know I always feel safer knowing that the only people carrying a weapon are the ones doing it illegally.

More good news from our new leftist overlords. I know, let's make laws! horray. The hits just keep on comin' down't they? Thanks for giving us the heads-up on this. I didn't see it anywhere, even in the new media (online, blogs, Drudge, Hot Air, etc. )

Yeah, nevermind about protecting yourself or others from wacko nut jobs such as the slim that killed Merideth on the AT.

All of 'em are dirt bags, but Teddy Kennedy takes the prize. He's been anti-gun for like forever, but do you remember not long ago when his bodyguard was caught totin' a gun without a license? Yeah, that was okay
'cause he was protecting Teddy's butt. We need to sweep 'em all out.

Ha. Then Teddy and Rosie O'Donnell have something in common.

You mean other than being leftist windbags who like women?

My son and I are avid campers. We pack-out for two and three day jaunts. Raven Cliffs and Tallulah Falls (highway to highway) are some of our favorites. Anyone who has done serious hiking knows that your are walking around with $1500 of equipment on your back. Having said that, I take my chances and still pack my heat.

I have debated not being armed and maybe carrying a wrist rocket(sling shot) but after seeing Deliverance 20 times, I made up my mind that I am not going to be bubba's next date.

Did anyone read the judges finding?

She overturned the ruling because an environmental impact study was not performed!!!
Here the the argument. In this leftist judge mind, if I am carrying a concealed weapon in a national forest, I am affecting the psychological environment of other hikers who may like me carrying a gun.

This is pure BS. This is fascism from the bench. But with Obama in the WH and Holder as AG, they have been given the green light for judicial activism to a degree beyong belief. It is going to be a long 4 years. If we get there.
