re guns in backcountry no thanks hi in canada any gun that enters a national park must be sealed i think it s a small metal tag that s placed over the trigger the net result of this is that you can t use a gun to protect yourself from bears or psychos in the national parks instead one has to be sensitive to the dangers and annoyances of hiking in bear country and take the appropriate precautions i think this policy makes the users of the national parks feel a little closer to nature that they are a part of nature and as such have to deal with nature on it s own terms guy
