Every year, my city kicks off the Kentucky Derby with the largest fireworks display in North America and an amazing airshow. This year however there has been teen violence and unacceptable fear within the community. As a result, our waterfront park has installed many CCD cameras and metro police will have over 1100 uniformed and undercover officers at the "Big Show".

I am wondering what else might be done in your opinion?

I am not sure anything can be done about it. But perhaps the police presence will neutralize violence before it occurs.

The Police Chief has also made it very clear that those with legal CC permits are free to carry, but they prefer not.

I wouldn't in a large crowd. That is the type of event I carry a stun gun to. Noflying projectiles no chance of over penetration and no loud fire to start a stampede. One shot could get several people killed even if a bullet doesn't.

The plus to the stun gun is that it's not lethal. So Mr I have had one to many doesn't spend a week in the hospital or eternity in the ground. He just sobers up before he blinks his eyes sleeps like a baby and lives to tell his buddies.

When working an event I HATE carrying my gun. It's more like a liability than a defensive weapon. But I have to.
