I won't be packing heat at all. It is illegal. I will carry tactical knife but it isn't a switch blade.
The park is frequently used by joggers, bikers at this time of the year. The park still has plenty of sunlight at 9 PM. The news also report that the muggers also attack another 35yr old man. The cops will catch them soon enough. I never heard any mugging in this park for 15yr years. I rode my bike through this area frequently in afternoon and even at night. My bke is of course equiped with powerful 35watt dual head lights and 10watt helmet light. I can spot a potential problem 200ft away.
