Allow this bill to pass as written. The real truth is that criminals who would do you harm do not abide by any prohibitions and will, and do, carry their illegal weapons where ever and when ever they want to in order to rob, rape or murder an honest citizen. Allowing concealed permit holders to carry their self defense weapons in state parks only gives those of us who take their personal security seriously the ability to intercede for ourselves just as we can outside of the state park system. As a concealed handgun permit holder I have been vetted by the state police, I practice several times each month, receive professional training yearly and compete in nationally sanctioned pistol matches monthly. I am well prepared to defend myself and others when required.
