To read the full text of this article online, click here: /articles/article/letter_constitutional_rights_dont_end_at_park_boundaries16686/ ARTICLE EXCERPT: Every time a law restoring Second Amendment rights is passed, it is inevitable that a few people will come forward crying that the world as we know it is about to end. Jerry Reckin's letter (March 3 Beacon: “Guns in Parks Will Change the Ranger Image”) bemoaning the restoration of the right to carry a firearm for protection in our national parks and refuges – a right removed under Pres. Reagan – predicts the same thing. Blood was not running down the trails of our parks because of legally armed visitors before this right was removed by Reagan, nor will there be a bloodbath now despite Reckin's fear mongering. To quote him: "if it ain't broke don't fix it" – this change in law simply removes an unnecessary "fix it" that Reagan never should have signed into law.
