Wooded areas are a primary target for theft.  I enjoy my family walks through our park and would feel even more comfortable if my handgun was allowed to go with me.  My mother is far to old to protect herself if a young man attacks her.  She feels at home on the wooded trails and I feel uncomfortable knowing she is out there by herself with nothing but her bag to protect her.  Parks should be treated no differently than any other part of the commonwealth.  With the exception to federal locations carry is a non issue. 

We need to remember, when you make something illegal in hopes to help the general population.  The ones who plan to harm them will never follow the laws.  Does not matter if you ban guns, knives or any other object.  Those whom wish to do harm will always carry them where they legally can not.
