I'll open the "for" discussion. It's the same reason I get irritated about working in a federal building. You can't even have one sitting in the trunk of your car. So, if you want to carry a weapon in the car (for whatever reason) for any need that may arise between home and work (and any other place you might go in between, you can't take one.

Let's suppose I'm going on a two-week trip. Gonna save some money staying in cheap motels. Also, plan to hit a few parks on my vacation. I have to leave my gun at home because I can never take it to a park. So, if some assholes sees an "easy out-of-state tag" to take advantage of and decide to come through the door of the motel, I can't do much about it.

Or if we're asleep in a tent...

And, like always, anyone PLANNING something bad in a park doesn't care if there's a law/rule or not.

The only downside is the "loss of temper" instances that may happen.

So...

And don't get me wrong, it's not THAT big of a deal. Haven't been to a federal park in years.
