<br>
<blockquote>recently i forwarded an editorial concerning loaded hand
guns in national<br>
parks. my intention was to inform you of this change in policy not to
make<br>
a political point. as i am sure many of you recognized, the article was<br>
biased and was not the official position of the national park service. i<br>
received the editorial as part of the nps public information office mass<br>
email which tracks all news articles related to the nps without regard
to<br>
the particular slant. this is a very contentious issue and i would<br>
encourage all of you to explore the many sides of this issue. a simple<br>
search on the internet, will give you plenty of information from all
sides.<br>
