So was this at the private memorial or the Parks Service one?

Maybe... maybe not. I crossed the C&O Canal NHP many times as a lad during hunting season. Ran into a ranger on two occasions. Both times he reminded the hunting party that the rule was our weapons had to be unloaded when crossing NHP property.
There has been a change in federal law since.
The folks who want to deface this park are pussies and an unarmed guard is all it is going to take to keep them away.
Totally incorrect. Oh..and Point Lookout is a state park, so...I misstated that in my earlier post. I just knew the rules.

NPS is national park service. In 2009 a rider to some credit card bill legalized open carry in national parks. CCW defers to state law. There is no MD law against long gun open carry.
The confederate cemetery is VA administered. Different kettle of fish all together. So neither NPS nor state law apply.

New law allows loaded guns in national parks
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Loaded guns will be allowed in Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and other national parks under a new law that takes effect Monday.
The law lets licensed gun owners bring firearms into national parks and wildlife refuges as long as they are allowed by state law. It comes over the objections of gun-control advocates who fear it will lead to increased violence in national parks.
The national parks law takes effect in a climate that favors advocates of gun rights. The debate shifted dramatically in 2008, when the Supreme Court struck down a handgun ban in Washington, D.C., and declared that individuals have a constitutional right to possess firearms for self-defense and other purposes.

Laws? What laws? Nothing is followed unless it behooves the libprog leap frogs.
I am trying to figure out what your point is. There was talk about the Point Lookout cemetery being a NPS property and you claimed that 'armed yokels' wouldn't be allowed on NPS property. I pointed out that you can in fact carry firearms on NPS property, just not inside of any NPS facilities (including outhouses in the national parks).
You keep quoting a law that applies to Maryland state parks. The confederate cemetery is outside of Point Lookout State Park right on a public highway, you don't have to cross state park land to get there.
All this is moot as the confederate cemetery is operated by the veterans administration. As such, it is covered by 38 CFR 1.218 which prohibits firearms on VA property (nobody has come around to repeal that one yet).

Welcome to America.
I was never referring to the memorials that is on private property. I was accurately stated that carrying in the park is not legal.

You are an idiot. This entire conversation has been about the monuments.
I thought that one of the two mentioned was inside the park boundaries. Apparently not.
