Should people be allowed to carry their guns in public parks?
This issue has cause a huge debate in my area and I was wondering what a larger opinion was. In a place where lisenced gun ownership and non-concelled gun carrying is leagle, should a law be in place to ban guns from public parks/playgrounds? Is a law such as this unfairly restricting gun rights? Is it a law which should be implimented for safety reasons? What do you think?

No. People should just go take some self defense courses in hand to hand combat. Think about it. There will most likely be other people in the park as well, so if you try to shoot at an attacker in self defense, then there is chance you'll miss and end up shooting an innocent child or pedestrian.

In the middle of the night? Well, personally I'd rather have a gun than be trained in hand-to-hand combat if someone tried to mug me in a public park. Besides, think of how much more at risk children and people on the street would be if the only people armed were muggers and rapists. Side: Yes

If someone commits a crime you can't shoot them No but you can make a citizens arrest which is a hell of a lot easier and safer to do if your armed. But besides that the main reason you should be armed in public is self defense. If someone try's to mug, rape, assault, or rob you a gun would be most handy to defend yourself form such violence.

if you give an inch they will take a mile. Next thing you know there will be rocket launchers strapped to people's backs. If you want all those rednecks raping your churches and burning your women allow it. If you want a civilized piece of property, guns cannot be a part. Also muslims should be the only ones allowed to have guns. Side: No
