I feel that I have the right to protect myself and my family when ever and where ever. It is proven that our police cannot be everywhere at all times, and the armed citizen is sometimes needed to protect and save lives. Our state parks are for our enjoyment and we as citizens should never feel unprotected when enjoying them. Laws are written agrements that are for the law abiding people, but the lawless people do not and will not abide by these rules. There is no such thing as a law stopping a bullet, Laws are only a ruling or finding if a law after a crime was comitted by a lawless person. We as Americans at times must be prepared to take action to protect our selves from the lawless. Call it the law of the old west or self preservation, but it may be the only thing that keeps you alive. Thank you. Donald Hudson

First of all, I think the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees need to stay retired. They and so many other people blow this whole thing out of porportion.

Its not so you can shoot a bear if you or he crosses paths.
Its not so troublesome people can tote a gun.
It is not so idiots can target practice in the parks.

It is so a trained person With a carry permit may legally carry a fire arm and defend him or herself against an otherwise possible death.

If you were a thief, crook, criminal, rapist whatever, would you indiscriminately do your thing if you knew that the chance of the person you are about to assault may just be carrying and that you may just get your ass burned? Just knowing that law abiding citizens can, may and most likey be carrying would make you think twice. Criminals primarily prey on those who can not defend themself.

One city that told their citizense to buy and keep a gun for self defense (unless they didn’t think they could use or not feal comfortable with it). The crime dropped to almost nil. The criminals moved out!!

Parks, even though safer than cities still have their problems too. There have been rapes and attempted rapes, theft, murder. By the time you call for help (and usually there’s no cell service) and you tell him to hold up a minute so you can try to call while he waits to hold the knife to your throat–well, if you don’t get the picture, your not human or a criminal).

Track records prove that those who have concealed carry permits are generaly safer and very law obiding citizens.

Think carfully about the following thought provokers:

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

2. A gun in the hand is better than an officer on the phone (that is if you even have service).

3. Gun control is not about guns; it’s about control.

4. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

5. If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any.

7. 64,999,987 legal firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

8. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

9. You don’t shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

10. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

11. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.

12. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

13. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.

14. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

15. When you remove the people’s right to bear arms, you create slaves.

16. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

17. If tools kill rather than people, then outlaw cars and all other transpertation, as they also are tools.

Thanks for your time
Stan
