Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new prohibition on concealed firearms in national parks and national wildlife refuges (with exceptions for law enforcement, authorized hunting, and private residences), which restricts the ability to carry firearms. It also involves state preemption by imposing this restriction on federal lands within the state.
