I find this almost comical. In the 'boro they want to ban a person carrying a gun that will 99.99999999% of the time will be concealed and never even touched during thier visit to the park. At the same time a few miles up the road the town of Smyrna has a green way jogging trail that borders a WMA where firearms (shotgun and muzzle loaders) are used and expected to be discharged. What is the risk of a stray round or a jogger being out of sight to a hunter yet within range of the weapon when he misses that big 10 pointer? I have been hunting on this WMA and seen joggers go right down a trail in the middle of it not even knowing that they are interfearing with a legal hunt on a WMA which in itself is illegal but, also could be dangerious for the jogger. They had no idea that they were basiclly running "downrange" not only during legal hunting hours but being early in the morning and late in th evening prime game movement time.
