Problem
The Calhoun family is spending their summer holiday at Columbia National Park, which is located in a remote and little-known part of New York State that is famous for its moose and bears. They have reserved a tent site for three weeks. When the couple and their three small children arrive at the camping reception area, a Park ranger asks if they have any firearms. Mrs. Calhoun acknowledges that she is carrying a .38 revolver, which is fully licensed in their home state, to protect her family. The ranger tells Mrs. Calhoun that the gun and its ammunition must be checked with him for the duration of their stay. He informs her that her gun will be disassembled, stored separately from the ammunition in a secure place, and returned when they leave the park. He shows them a National Park Regulation which bans firearms from National Parks located in New York. He assures her that the park has 24-hour security and electric fences to keep out all intruders. He cautions her that her gun violates state law, but promises that he will not contact the police if she abides by the National Park regulations for New York. Ms. Calhoun protests that both the park regulations and state law are unconstitutional, and have been overruled by two Supreme Court opinions - District of Columbia v. Heller and NYS Rifle and Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen. She observes that a small, vulnerable canvas tent will be their "home away from home" for three weeks. She promises that she will keep the gun in the tent at all times, and use it only against human or animal invaders. Discuss the merits of Mrs. Calhoun's position and the ranger's position on the National Park regulation.
