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.

Obama Pro-Gun President so far
Some on the left are not happy with Obama's seemingly pro- or neutral-gun stance during his first year in office.
I think that the president doesn't have a very strong personal preference on the issue, and would rather not wade into this political trap, as Bill Clinton did.
