Concealed Carry in State Parks
 

T o Whom It May Concern,

I will make this as short as possible. It is a simple thing. Enforce the laws you have. Concealed carry should be allowed by any law abiding( one would have to be a law abiding citizen if one leagally has a firearm with a concealed weapons permit in the first place) citizen. Allow concealed carry as it should be and never should have been taken away or never given in the first place. I honestly dont know or claim to know the background on this and if it was ever allowed or what. To me it is as simple as this- if you use it for something other than self defense, then you deserve to be prosecuted and lose your right. It is not a right given by us from the local, state or federal government. It is a birth given right to self defense and protection. If someone abuses it, kick him/her out of the park for good. Simple, plain and easy to see. Protection is however, an unailiable right given unto us by who ever your God is....not government. You lose your right only after you abuse it.  Dont punish people who dont abuse it, punish the ones that do.

Thank You,

Greg P Hypes
