Not a bad show
Real smart. Let the low-lifes feel safe in the knowledge that no law-abiding park visitors are packing heat. After all, why keep the criminally-minded guessing? Let 'em know that everyone's an easy mark. Then we can all feel "safe" from evil guns. Right?
“Gun free zones” are killing zones.
As long as one could encounter bears, wolves or two footed predators, one should be able to carry a gun.
“How do you feel about allowing loaded guns in our national parks?”
Great, just as I support expanding our hunting opportunities whenever possible.
As to self defense, it is a necessity at all times. The bears worry me much less than the humans.
Lots of people have been murdered in national parks. And just because there isn’t a “crime problem” doesn’t mean there won’t ever be an incident.
I’m pretty sure Virginia Tech didn’t have a “crime problem,” either.
Ahh, liberals.
IMHO, being able to carry a firearm anywhere in the U.S. should be viewed as a right for any and all law abiding citizens.
“Do we need guns at Paradise?”
LOVE that movie - “Madagascar”. A bunch of zoo animals esacpe to the “Wild” where they think it will be a better place to live. Just a kid’s movie. But the gretest scene is when they are walking though the forest and nice quite music is playing while various small cuddly furry critters are eaten by crocs, snakes, etc right in front of their startled eyes.
Any place is Paradise if you’re locked and loaded to deal with problems. If not, it isn’t.
I’d like to be able to carry wherever I go in the United States. That includes NYC
The only hat that was ever able to be used as a defensive weapon was in that 007 movie, Wasn’t that guys name Oddjob? Had a steel hat?
This author has said so many stupid things in such a short article that it’s hard to figure out where to start.
If you can take your hat off in church? Ok. That applies to the 1% of us men who are appropriately civilized to wear a fedora or a flat cap (occasionally a homburg). I’m not talking about baseball caps and especially the backward baseball cap.
Nobody is wearing hats todays except The Woim and members of the Ortho community (to them I say Baruch HaShem).
However, how many cute young women need to disappear in our parks? I guess the author of the article means that if you’re a cute and sexy but defenseless young woman than please bring a half-dozen men to chaparone you.
Guns save lives, unless men leave their guns in the car.
Our national parks are tax dollar sucking parasites - our churches are sanctuaries. These guys in the natl parks are idol worshippers and born statists!
Dripping contempt for the citizens of this republic is evident whenever a tax thief (i.e., govt employee) refers to a tax-provided thief den (i.e., govt owned bldgs and parks) as a sanctuary. God sanctifies things, not government.
Yours truly,
The Woim

(That's intended as an insult - as all gun owners are rednecks)
She wanted to take a loaded gun with her but was afraid they'd punish her. So she gave up national parks.
Frankly I've never considered national parks a safe place to camp and much prefer what the states offer ~ more guards, many let you bring in guns (which you can do anyway as long as you don't brandish them and scare away the racoon babies), and they are more organized.
Too many national parks seem more given to having you obey rules than in letting you enjoy yourself. Fascism runs rampant in the national parks.
This cheery little putz actually believes any violent felon would certainly respect his wishes.
Well, if there is no crime then why are they so determined to keep guns out of parks? Nobody will ever have a reason to know you're carrying one.
And to use pepper spray on a grizzly. Yeah, I'd like to watch this idiot stand there holding a little pepper spray bottle against a charging bear.
Sometimes these people are so idiotic I wonder how they are from the same planet.
Ask Meredith Emerson if she would have liked to have been carrying a gun in one of Georgia’s State Parks around Jan 1st of this year...
