I suppose it makes sense that every time there is an Anti-gun law proposed, the NRA files a lawsuit that the Anti's would start filing lawsuits every time the Pro's make headway.
Federal Parks are public land. It is legal to carry a gun in most public areas. I fail to see the logic in banning guns in a public place, especially one where the possibility of being attacked by bears and wacko's are readily available.

Concealed Carry in National Parks Suspended -- NRA Files Motion To Appeal
On Thursday, March 19, a federal district court in Washington, D.C. granted anti-gun plaintiffs a preliminary injunction against implementation of the new rule allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves by carrying a concealed firearm in national parks and wildlife refuges.
In Thursday's ruling, Federal District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the preliminary injunction against the Department of the Interior rule that took effect on January 9, 2009. The revised rule allowed individuals to carry concealed firearms for self-defense in national parks and national wildlife refuges located in states that allow the carrying of concealed firearms.
Today, NRA filed a notice of appeal in Federal District Court to oppose the preliminary injunction.
NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox, said, "NRA is moving aggressively to protect this common sense rule and that's why we filed this notice of appeal today. Just as we did not give up the fight to change the old, outdated rule, we will not give up our fight in the courts to defend the rule change. We will pursue every legal avenue to defend the American people's right of self-defense."
