The NPS page states a weapon-possession prohibition including bear spray but separately says firearm possession is subject to state regulations. Discharge is independently prohibited. State-law eligibility, exceptions and equipment-specific interpretation have not been reviewed; confirm with the park before travel. Do not infer a blanket firearm possession ban or general permission.

Open question. The following evidence does not resolve this gap. Use the recorded question and reason to understand what needs confirmation.
