ISTR that every home in many of the cantons of Switzerland are required to posses and to be profiecent with arms. Yet one so rarely sees hordes of swiss 'sportsmen' swanning around the alps blasting away at the yodellers, nor even swaggering around their downtown malls 'carrying'. Why would that be?

@ ali - was going to say I'm going to train my big guns on you, but tbh at 9/602 and then a paltry response of 53 for 3, I think I'm more inclined to shoot our own team!

As you can see I am new to this forum, in fact this thread brought me to it.
I think the article posted overlooks the practicality of this law. While the text of the bill being introduced certainly makes it clear the law is about using a gun for protection, the law's real world effect is a practical one. Having lived near Gettysburg National Park and currently living near Valley Forge National Park the current prohibition of carrying a gun through them creates several problems. The first is that many people who have a permit and legally carry a gun concealed may not be aware of this prohibition. It is your duty to know the law, but this is not common knowledge even among informed gun owners. The second problem is that these parks are large and have prominent throughways that are used by many during their daily commute & regular drives. These two circumstances have to potential to land one of the good guys in very big trouble. I don't think the intent of the bill is to make the parks safer, but to add uniformity to concealed carry laws. |

I think that travel through the park without intention of stopping would be covered as 'peaceable journey,' in the same way that you can drive through a post office parking lot or within 1000 feet of a school while armed, just so long as you don't go inside the buildings.

What's wrong with yodelling?
btw, it's not a practice soley kept for the swiss. Plenty of country singers do it too.
