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), directly restricting the carry of firearms in those locations. It also sets a state-level rule for these areas, which functions as preemption of any conflicting local or prior allowances.
