Parks Are Always Safe? Guess Again

A battle rages on in Ohio over CCW in public parks.


"Today, the newscasts are rife with stories about the woman who was abducted from the Lorain County Metro Parks’ Carlisle Reservation, shot in the back, and raped. Fortunately, she was spotted by a passerby as her abductor apparently was trying to dump her in the river. After being spotted, he drove off with two Good Samaritans in pursuit and in contact with the police."


To the anti self-defense extremists who continually chant their shrill warnings of how guns in parks lead to danger . . . this is a reminder that thinking people understand -- just being in a park can put you in danger. There is no place anywhere that is completely safe.


Which is why thinking people want the choice to carry -- in parks, or anywhere else for that matter. And will not have their right to exercise that choice taken away by someone who thinks they know it all.
