Those with legal Handgun Carry Permits should be allowed to carry in any ER park.

Preventing lawful gun carry in Camp Jordan makes no sense. Only the lawful will follow the law; the criminals who intend to rob, rape, or murder could care less about breaking yet another law. This prohibition only prevents those licensed gun carriers from legally protecting themselves with the most effective means of self defense.

I just saw the this story on WDEF. It is hypocritical that the Eastman gun show is held at the arena of an area that bans guns. Park goers (those who walk the trail) don't just have people to defend against. My friend was attacked by dogs when she was walking her toddler on the trail. No one was around to help her. The cops don't walk the trail, and it's a long trail that goes into Brainerd. A sign is not going to prevent someone from committing a crime. For those who are against people defending themselves: let's see you/your wife/daughter/son walk the trail defenseless and alone. You are criminalizing people who just want to protect themselves. If someone was killed who could've protected him/herself could you live with that on your conscious?

I believe that responsible gun owners with the proper carry permit should be allowed to protest themselves in city parks. Looks at some of the people hanging out on and aroudn the walking trail and other areas.

I was almost attacked by two men on the path in Camp Jordan, in a secluded area that went past a thick stand of trees. They crept up quietly behind me, and I'd never have known they were there if my dog didn't start going nuts. As a single woman, I want to be able to defend myself from this scum!

We need to be able to protect ourselves, any where we go. LEO do the best they can, but they need our help too.

I have been robbed at gun point years ago and now have my cancelled carry permit. I support the right to bare arms!

We have a 2nd amendment for a reason. It protects all the others.
