WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has voted to allow people to carry loaded guns in national parks and wildlife refuges.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., sponsored the measure, which would restore a Bush administration policy allowing loaded guns in national parks.
A federal judge blocked the policy in March, and the Obama administration declined to file an appeal.
The gun amendment was attached to a bill imposing restrictions on credit card companies. The bill was approved 90-5.
The measure now goes to the House, where approval is expected.
