I too believe in the right to bear arms, and support this decision.
My thoughts now turn to what will the NPS have to do to inform/educate people who are not familiar with the outdoors and animal behavior that just seeing one doesn't give them the right to shoot it. They need to be actually threatened not just hyped up on adrenaline from the encounter. Secondly, we are already short on park rangers, I think the NPS will need to bring in additional rangers just to keep the yahoos under control and help deter these instances from happening.
