Sun Journal Letter to the Editor: Havelock gun law opens way for armed criminals and unarmed citizens

December 15, 2011

Congratulations to the Havelock City Council! You have just made your city a more dangerous place, particularly in parks and recreation areas. I came to this conclusion after reading of the vote by the city council to require persons with Concealed Carry Permits (CCP) to lock up their weapons in their vehicles away from the recreation fields. As with all gun control laws, this regulation only puts restrictions on law-abiding citizens such as former or retired law enforcement officers and military veterans who served with distinction and amounts to an open invitation to criminals, who have no respect for the law, to victimize people in these public areas and to lunatics to go on a murderous rampage with little or no fear of armed opposition.
