I just reread the FS policy overview on their website. It's changed since I last read it. Now it includes this,

Quote:
If you are planning on visiting a designated Wilderness Area, the Regional Forester or Forest Supervisor has the option to implement a special local order which additionally prohibits the mere possession of a firearm within that Wilderness Area.
As far as I know, it is not within their authority to ban possession, only shooting. I will contact the author of that page and ask him to cite the CFR that gives this authority, or to correct that page if none exists.

ETA: OK I have an email in to Jamie Schwartz. Waiting on his reply...
