I wrote yesterday to the Public Employeers for Environmental Responsibility. One of the groups who has been tracking violent offenses and danger within our national parks. I was hoping to get a "we support the opening of the ban on legal weapons in National Parks"... They're at Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility: Homepage

I will not reveal who it was that replied to me, but here was their reply -- remember this is a group whose motto is "Protecting employees who protect our environment":

While I personally agree with you, PEER does not typically take organizational positions on an issue unless it is in direct service of employees on whose behalf we are working.

I'm fine with that. It was a neutral response. I would like to reply and ask, respectfully, whether they have considered this from the perspective of "safety in the parks" issue. To do so, I would like to be able to cite some facts on where Conceal Carry was able to reduce crime in a fairly specific and well documented way.

help anyone?
