Such amusement parks are often “off-limits” to holders of CHL/CCW permits. Why? I don't know I guess it just sounds cool to say “Why would you need a gun at an amusement park”. Well legislators, and park owners/operators, this is why.

Amen. In addition, this provides a microcosm example of typical life in a gun-free utopia. Gangs of young thugs will be free to terrorize the weak or women at will.

I think the more important question is “What would you do with a gun at an amusement park?” With all the rides that spin you around and flip you upside down or whatever - I don’t think a gun would stay in its holster very well if you were going on a rollercoaster or something like that. Or, if it was in a purse or fanny pack or something, you’d have to leave them on the platform while you rode, which wouldn’t be very safe either as there would be no telling who could get their hands on them. Of course, you could lock your gun in a locker while you went on the rides, but that would entirely defeat the purpose of bringing it in the first place.
