   I’m sorry- where does the article say anything about bars?

   AC just threw that in to get the attention of the anti-gun nuts at The Scene.

   It doesn’t say anything about “bars” just parks.

   I still don’t see the need to carry weapons in a park. They are generally quite safe, a heck of a lot safer than I-65 at rush hour.

   I have a permit to carry and I don’t think guns should be allowed in LOCAL parks. State and national parks - yes.

   Do you know how many people have been attacked in Centenial park, Edward and Percy Warner Parks, and Shelby Parks.

   Permit armed carriers in parks do not bother me, it is the those that are in the parks that are armed and do not have the training or the legal permits to carry.

   After 15 years of coaching baseball and seeing a few games become shouting matches between fans and/or umpires, I could see situations where things could escalate real quick.

   On the other hand, if I’m hiking out in the middle of some park like Percy-Warner, Fall Creek Falls, or the Great Smokies National Park, I would like to be armed.
