Gun Bearing Woman Ruins Day

Big Mac, on the Wild Card: "With my extended family in town, we all brought our kids to McEuen's splash pad (at 11 a.m. today). The kids had fun, but my peace of mind was ruined by a woman openly carrying a loaded pistol while she played with her toddler. She even sat on a picnic bench and bounced the toddler on her weapon. I don't trust people I don't know to carry guns around my children. And I certainly don't trust that mother's judgment."

Question: Would you be comfortable in a situation like the one described by Big Mac?
