Does the new federal law allow us to have a loaded firearm in the park and within our trailer or campsite?
Park visitors are allowed to possess a concealed loaded firearm if they have a valid State of California concealed carry weapons permit (CCW). Loaded firearms carried openly are prohibited in locations where use of the firearm is prohibited. Use of a firearm in the park is prohibited, therefore an openly carried loaded firearm in the park is also prohibited. One exception to that rule is your campsite, which is a temporary place of residence. Openly carrying a loaded firearm outside of your campsite is strictly prohibited. Firearms are not permitted in any park buildings, including campground and other rest stations.
