Bear spray illegal in CA National parks.

Read the law...it's Federal, they decided on it. Not California or anyone here.

You can have bear spray in Yellowstone because they have grizzlies.

Again, protect yourself from what? If you're so scared of a black bear then maybe you should just stay indoors?

I'll ask again, when was the last bear attack in CA? Fatal or otherwise and when was the last time bear spray was used successfully?

You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill just because you think it's Californias fault.

If Trump came out in support of HIS law then you guys would support it.

No, it's not legal to fire a weapon in ANY of the National Parks in the Nation.

The only place this is occurring is within the boundaries of California.

No where else.

Because California considers bear spray a weapon. And California does not believe in protection by weapon in " critical places".

Just call the authorities, and they protect you from all dangers.

Federal Law Allows Possession & State Law Controls Carry

• National Park Service defers to state law for all carry regulations.
• Your permit remains valid within a park only if the state honors it.
• Firearms are always prohibited inside posted federal buildings.

Wasp and hornet spray, may be better than pepper spray. Friend of mine in south carolina has a security company. One of the places is a church that takes in a hefty donation via the collection plate. Thugs tried to rob the church on monday morning. The secretary had a can of wasp and hornet spray. She sprayed both thugs. And they were blinded. They were there when the police came to investigate. And they were blind until the hospital put in an antidote to reverse the blindness. Crooks can be stupid.

So how exactly can you legally defend yourself, now that California has agreed to the NP ban on pepper spray in its national parks ?
When California government officials go to a NP, exactly how are they protected?

Bottom line to all this?

So like I said in my original post it falls back to state laws or policy. That's why California has the ban in their National Parks.
