[Worriedman]

By a vote of 6-2, with one abstention, the Jackson City Council defeated Earnest Brooks' II Resolution calling for the banning of legal carry in Parks!

hehehe

Now as long as none of those signs get put up yahoo. When does that law go into affect?

I'd like to see how everyone voted. I know where one of the 2 votes came from

I was at North Park last night and it's a pretty crowded place but when it gets dark and those that walk the trail, you'd think they'd want some protection..

What fools--don't they realize that homicidal HCP holders will engage in random, thoughtless mayhem, causing the blood blood of mothers, small children to run in Jackson's parks?

Never had crow before so best make it well done with a side of fries and a sprite.

One of the speakers in opposition broached the fact that Brooks' statements about Parks proximity to schools, and the "children" was a "straw man" agenda, as legal carry on school grounds had been around for several years, asking Brooks to provide any data showing where that had been a problem.

Of course there is none. That is the crux of the matter, there is no data showing HCP Holders are a danger to anyone, except the occasional criminal.

The one speaker in favor of the Resolution offered the same tired, evidently pre-prepared letter driveling on about how HCP Holders can get soused before they show up at a restaurant, (the Restaurant Resolution was pulled prior to the meeting), and the standard "More Guns, More Crime" blather that is so rampant with the Liberal cool aid drinkers. Ellis did a good job of beating back the "children" issue, stating that there was no stronger reason for defense than that of family and children!
