Waaaaitasec here, that's a damned good question.
OK, take WA state for a moment. Let's assume that like most states, WA considers, say, a front-stuffer revolver (1851 Colt, Remmie, Ruger Old Army, etc) a "gun". Well you can still carry it on a CCW permit. That's true of ALL the CCW states so far as I'm aware...definitely the case in AZ where I am now.
The ban on carry in national parks is based on US (Fed) law and that in turn in most areas doesn't cover front-stuffers. NFA rules don't apply, for example...you can take a 12ga double-barrel percussion front-stuffer shotgun, chop the barrels to 12", put a pistol grip on it, it's all good under Fed rules and many (most?) states.
So just where is the wording on the national park gun ban, and does it cover front-stuffers?
If it doesn't, and you're carrying a front-stuffer revolver under a state CCW permit, you'd be good.
It all hinges on the wording of the Fed statute in question...
