I think sometimes people forget why we have parks.
I don't disagree, as I opened my original statement with "I understand the reasoning by keeping National Parks gun free." I can understand how people would assume it would turn into a bunch of gun toting lunatics in the woods.... which I highly doubt would happen. But I do understand why they would have reservations as well. Canadians have been conditioned to assume every gun owner is a dangerous psychopath.

That being said, I don't really have a ton of sympathy in these situations. The risk is there, and you accept the risk of relying on essentially mace against a 600 pound animal in a Provincial or National Park. There's millions of beautiful acres you can explore where you are allowed to carry adequate protection.
