In the news today was the story of Benjamin Colton Barnes who was a former special forces soldier returned from Iraq with post traumatic stress disorder who shot and killed park ranger Margaret Anderson in Mount Ranier National Park while on the run following another shooting he was involved in at an earlier party...
The last paragraph in the article says that the shooting has renewed debate to reverse a recent law making it legal to carry firearms in a national park...

Not only is a remote park dangerious due to wild animals they also seem to be where many criminals on the run go to hide out such as Eric Robert Rudolph who hid out in the Chattahoochie National Forest for many months before being captured...Another recent case in Georgia saw serial killer Gary Michael Hilton kill and decapitate his victoms in a National Forest...
