Again, some of you guys are convinced this is about arming everyone with a gun or filling the most popular trails with guys rocking pistols. It’s literally the difference between not allowing guns in remote bear territory that happens to be designated as a national park while allowing them everywhere else and just allowing them in both.
So what if most people couldn’t handle a shotgun in that situation? Why would more people get a gun licence if the remote area that they could carry that gun was expanded? The only guys I know who take a gun into the bush for protection also happen to be hunters, and they also go into the weirdest areas by choice because that’s what they like. They aren’t hiking Johnston Canyon in their Sauconys, you guys are super safe.
If they made it so you could carry a shotgun in the back country of a national park, I’m not suddenly going to have a desire to get a licence and go into the back country given I could already do that wherever else and neither is anyone else. That’s silly.
