Firearms Information in Death Valley National Park

Since February 22, 2010, a federal law has made it legal for people who can legally own guns under federal, state, and local laws to do so in this national park. If you have a state CCW license you can carry in this park.

Before entering the park, they leave the responsibility up to the visitors to know and follow all state, local, and federal gun laws.

There are places in the park where guns are not allowed by federal law. These places are marked with signs at all public entrances.

It is against the law to shoot a gun in Death Valley National Park for any reason.

Hunting in Death Valley National Park

Because you cannot discharge your firearms in this park, you cannot hunt game.
