Cremated remains poured from Power Tower! "08"

Not sure how the topic took a turn towards a gun debate. However, permits or not, I simply don't have enough faith in the mental capacity of people in this country (and park guests in particular) to be comfortable with them toting a firearm around with them.

Around here just about every business I can think of has one of those "no concealed carry" signs posted at the door anyway, although who knows how many people ignore them. Plus now Ohio is going to let you take your gun into your favorite bar. I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with that.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

As a libertarian in full support of less gun restrictions from the government, I simply cannot fault a business for disallowing anyone to bring a weapon into their establishment. You wanna talk about rights? They have a right to deny your firearm access. Good news, you have a right to not go into the park! Awesome how that works, innit?

My girl and I fell in love at CP and we plan to do it again every year for the rest of our lives.

So sorry. :)

^^^ And I third Graized's comment.

It's totally their right to disallow guns in their establishments, I'm not arguing against that. I don't agree with them, and have a tendency not to patronize businesses that disallow firearms, but it is their right.

Now I don't think criminal charges should stem from carrying on their property - I think it should be up to the property owner to ask said person carrying to leave and then get them on tresspassing charges if they do not comply.

The shear amount of scrutiny you have to go through to get a gun permit is pretty amazing. Statistics have shown that crime rate (any crime at all, including offenses like DUI) among concealed permit holders is significantly less than among law enforcement officials.

To steal an idea from a Dilbert comic strip: The 2nd Amendment may guarantee everyone the right to own guns, but it doesn't guarantee anyone the right to own bullets :)
