Packing in some national parks OK on Monday

On Monday it will be legal to carry a concealed weapon in many national parks and sites, provided that the person carrying is authorized under state law.

I think this is a very good move, because currently someone driving within their state must take care to not transport a firearm through a national park, monument, battlefield, etc.

Some are afraid that this will lead to increased violence in the parks, but I don't see this happening.  Time and time again, when concealed carry laws are expanded there have not been increased shootings.
