I for one think that if you are liscenced you should be able to protect yourself. No matter were you are, criminals don't care if you are in a city, state or federal park. Remember the guy , a year or two back, was bludgeoned to death while fishing at Buckmasters pond. He was in his 60's or 70's. He was also a friend of Rick Pizzi, the brother of Bob Pizzi of MSBA. It doesn't matter if you were a priest, school teacher, nun, doctor, nurse, lawyer, mom, or father we can all be victims at any time. I am an NRA and Mass state police certified handgun instructor, and I have a concealed permit in Mass. I carry sometimes and most of the time I don't. My wife was anti gun when I met her. We went to six flags last year. The motel she made reservations in was shady. We did'nt know this until we got there and checked in. When we were confronted in a hallway by a man who had a huge black eye and was all strung out, my wife said " Honey I hope you brought your gun with you" She was scared, and I would be lying to you if I said that I was'nt. Needless to say we checked right out and went to a best western. Things can happen in an instant, and you only have fractions of a second to make a descision and act. I would not judge Frank by any account for what he did. Especially when you read about it in a newspaper. If he and his wife felt threatened, only they would know this, then he had every right to protect himself and his wife. Remember he only has a fraction of a second to make a descision and act. If the gun was his only means then he did the right thing. Anyway stories like this will get heated and cause animosity between people on this board. We all have our own opinions. Maybe we should let this one go John, before the hatchets start flying.
