I wouldn't advise you to keep on carrying along the Canal--your LTC isn't worth the plastic it's printed on there. It's a violation of Federal law for a non-LEO to carry a firearm on the Canal, except in the Scussett Reservation where hunting is permitted in season. You could lose that LTC if you're caught carrying on Federal property.

Regardless of that, shooting a bunch of unarmed kids is also likely to get you into even deeper trouble with the Barnstable DA's office. You'd have an uphill fight to convince a jury that you felt that your life was in danger, and couldn't retreat with complete safety--and both of those are key to a claim of shooting in self-defense.
