Also on July 29th, email began arriving in my inbox from members of a group who believe they should be allowed to carry concealed handguns in the following Town of Morrisville parks and facilities:
Morrisville Community Park- Morrisville Aquatics and Fitness Center
- Shiloh Park
- Cedar Fork Community Center
- Crabtree Creek Nature Park
- Indian Creek Greenway Trailhead
I do not agree. Guns do not belong on playgrounds or athletic fields.
I do agree with the group's contention that restrictions being considered will not deter all gun violence. We are a civilized community, a civilized state, a civilized nation. What is needed are restrictions on gun and ammunition sales that mirror that civility.
On 8/28/12 by a vote of 6-1, the MSV Town Council voted to restrict concealed guns on playgrounds and athletic fields.
