Dont Ban Concealed Weappons

According to the Bangor Daily News Proposal targets gun ban for parks on February 4, 2010. I believe that it is a poor idea to ban concealed weapons from parks because anything can happen, anything can happen anywhere. Most individuals only carry them for protection, they have to go through a course to get a license to carry one.
I believe one thing the park officers can do is ask each individual if they are carrying a concealed weapon, also ask for the license for proof to be sure that they are trained to use it. Only when it is absolutely needed. If they did that then it would be a lot safer. They wouldn't have to ban concealed weapons from the parks.
If the law to ban concealed weapons from the parks, a bear or some other animal tries to attack someone, they are licensed to cary a concealed weapon but they made it so they couldn't, the bear or any other animal attacked the person and killed them it wouldn't look to nice for the park. If the person was allowed to have a concealed weapon, they could defend themselves, lived with only minor injuries.
Families go to parks all the time, what if some sick messed up person decides to take a child or try to strangle someone, one or both of the parents were licensed to carry a concealed weapon but it wasn't allowed then someone could be seriously injured or even killed. If the people were allowed to legally carry a licensed concealed weapon they could save a lot of people, also themselves.
Most individuals that are licensed to carry a concealed weapon will only use it for self defense, usually only at the last resort. Take that away in a public outdoor place, many could be injured and loose their lives. If more and more people found out the less individuals would want to come to the parks. So I am just saying it is not a safe or smart idea to ban guns from parks but to make it a little safer just ask the people if they have a license to carry a legal concealed weapon, if they do ask to see the license. It would make it a lot safer that way.
