Latrobe officials still are debating a plan that could ban legally concealed firearms from city parks and playgrounds.

Council Monday tabled action on a proposed ordinance that would include lawfully licensed concealed firearms among weapons and devices to be prohibited in parks and recreation areas.

"I think this is taking away people's rights," Councilman Richard Jim said.

You've made a very true statement Mister Jim.

It's very important that only criminals have guns in our parks.

Gun control laws merely unarm the good citizen and make him prey for armed urban predators.

Under the proposed amendment, "it shall be unlawful for any person, except police, in any park or playground, to carry or use in any way any exposed or concealed type of firearm or weapon."

If your wife is being gang-raped by a bunch of "urban youths" in one of our fine state parks, you should NEVER be allowed to intervene on her behalf with an evil GUN! THAT would be TERRIBLE!

This was tried before, in Willow Grove or Horsham, outside Phily. It was protested, and found to in violation of the state laws on concealed carry. Same thing happened in Philly.
