I thought I would throw the question out to the experts.

I read about it when I was curious if i could carry on MT Rainier last summer when i went camping. it was allowed. Only time i've OC'd and not felt like a douche/target. got a few stares from rangers and others but was legal.
National parks follow state laws. No weapons in the buildings. I've OC'd at the sledding area at Rainier with no issue. Just be aware that if you walk around with an orange vest saying that you are hunting wabbits may cause some concern.

FIREARMS IN PARKS [Edited to correct formatting and remove links]
As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal, state, and local laws, to legally possess firearms in this park.
The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, was enacted May 22, 2009 and will become effective February 22, 2010. Section 512 of this law; Protecting Americans from Violent Crimes, supersedes the uniform treatment of firearm possession in the national park system outside Alaska under the regulations found at 36 C.F.R. 2.4.
It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws before entering this park. Yellowstone encompasses parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Each state has different regulations and these are listed below.
Federal law also prohibits firearms in certain facilities in this park (such as visitor centers, government offices, etc.); those places are marked with signs at all public entrances. Hunting and discharge of firearms remain prohibited in Yellowstone National Park.
Firearms should not be considered a wildlife protection strategy. Bear spray and other safety precautions are the proven methods for preventing bear and other wildlife interactions.

Did you check out the firearm collection at the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum in Cody? I drooled all over the carpet for hours!
