Quite a few years ago, we were talking to a G&F officer at a "check station".
We were talking about a grizzly attack that had happened close to our camp while we were elk hunting. Naturally, the subject of "pepper spray" came up. So, I asked him if the spray was to "season" the bear after I shot it!
He thought that was pretty funny and commented, saying……"I've often wondered if I would try the spray or shoot the bear if a situation presented itself"!
I really appreciated his honesty! memtb

In all seriousness, are not National Parks Federally owned property? So is this a state mandate or a federal mandate?

It's Federal. NPS is a Federal agency ( National Park Service )

Good. Just imagine all the random animals that would be getting sprayed by all the foreigners.
I'm in the Park several times a month for work and tourists are absolutely stupid in all aspects of life, particularly a couple specific nationalities. I wish they wouldn't allow them to enter.
The true backcountry types that are in the park know that black bears aren't going to attack them anyway so bear spray isn't necessary.

Basically whatever Riff Rafff California creates eventually she goes nationwide. Ur Smog in LA basin in 60's = EPA smog stuff on every rig in the USA, Then ur street gangs, shootN and lootN drug dealing, carjackings and taxpayers funded defense teams, nationwide!! Government supplemental funds for wind , solar, electric rigs, yep endless BS all compliments of CA Now the bears ain't liking the pepper blast in the eyes, well California wants to let e'm chew up N eat a few tourists so…. Just have to watch
I'd have spray and a pistol and take my chances with the law. Not take my chances with a predator. It would be an interesting case in court anyway.
I am full of sympathy for the good, honest and legal conservative people in that state. And very thankful I'm not one of them.
You have to be very driven and motivated to be as backwards as the so-called "leadership". Simply astonishing.
