And:
Elected officials in many states believe that the public safety benefits of a sound , well regulated , CCW program are significant.
Well worth the admin costs.
Vermont , IIRC , takes a different approach for state residents : legal to own = legal to carry carry concealed. Simple and cheap.
This is great news and sure is making the hopolophobes go crazy! The usual crap from the anti's:" It's going to make our parks unsafe for everyone!"," There will be people shooting wildlife for no reason!", blah,blah! Let them rant as they have done about every state that has passed shall issue CCW. Every time they have been proven wrong.

Actually - the park is bigger than the Canyon. And, there are lots of "critters" in the Park
The two-legged critters are usually the most dangerous animals anyways.
