172. How many people have you encounted and had problems with who were carrying guns so far?
Edited on Wed May-20-09 03:17 PM by NickB79
You didn't answer my question in my previous post. Are you speaking from personal experience, or what?

The same people you might encounter in the parks are the people who are already legally carrying on the streets. You probably pass by them and never even know it. If you aren't having trouble with CCW permit holders now, why would you have more trouble with them in national parks in the future?

As for having easier access to guns now than "when I was a kid", I was just a kid less than 10 years ago. What has occurred in that time that has made it easier to get guns? The only major change in gun policy was the repeal of the AWB. And you know what kind of difference that made? In 2001 I could purchase an AK clone or AR-15 in the local sporting goods store. Today, I can purchase an AK clone or AR-15 in the local sporting goods store. Big difference :eyes:
