    National Park Service Infringing on Lawful Carry

    Oh, but you CAN! This is the entrance to the cave in question. One doesn't have to pass thru any buildings to enter THIS cave, as they've preserved its "natural" entrance. There are others, such as Diamond Caverns, that can only be entered from a building, but not this one, which by the way, is...
