Yet another entrant into the race to deprive you of your right to self protection. Now entering the contest we have Havelock. The power hungry in concert with the naive and deluded are trying to find a way around obeying the new law allowing concealed carry permit holders the luxury of self protection within the confines of local parks.
Recently news reports are filled with breathless quotes from the hysterical such as: “…there is always the possibility that a person would lose their cool and pop out a gun and start shooting.” and “…tempers flare over something that’s small and somebody gets overly excited and all of a sudden the next thing you know weapons are there.”
Sound familiar? These are the same things that were said 16 years ago when concealed carry was first passed. Supposedly every fender bender was going to result in a gun fight. Every minor argument would escalate and end in bloodshed and heartbreak. A funny thing happened on the way to disaster… nothing. Despite all this wild eyed speculation, the only outcome from the concealed carry law was a reduction in violent crime; with the possible exception of those places designated as “gun free zones.”
