(KSL News) Visitors to national parks may soon be allowed to bring their firearms with them.
The U.S. Department of the Interior agreed to rewrite its regulations, making the possession of firearms legal in national parks.
The move was encouraged by a number of senators who wanted the regulations in national parks to match those in state parks. A letter sent by the senators, including Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, said the current gun policy governing national parks is "confusing, burdensome and unnecessary."
