No hunting in parks

Fred Grimm’s Aug. 2 column, Hunting in state parks a bad idea, regarding the proposal floating at the state’s Department of Environmental Protection almost knocked me out of my chair — and no gun blast was needed.

It sickens me that today’s term-limited politicians and their appointees are leaving a footprint on Florida never to be erased, unless it is washed away by rising sea levels that they choose to ignore.
