There are many, many facilities within the National Park System that are no longer used for their original purposes. For example, Springfield Armory no longer makes guns and is chock full of them yet you cannot tote your personal gun inside as it is now Springfield Armory NHS.

Be safe.

My statement was absolutely correct. IF the facility meets the federal definition of a "school" as is prescribed in Sec. 4141 of the GFSA, then the presence, or lack thereof, of a National Park is irrelevant. Any facility that falls under that definition is subject to the Gun Free Schools Act, and there is no exemption to the GFSA for those facilities in the new National Park CCW language. Obviously, a facility that USED to be a school, but no longer is (even though it is still called one), would NOT meet the above mentioned definition.
