Despite two major crimes this year, such incidents have been uncommon in the Lake area, which draws large crowds of tourists every summer.

I avoid the place just like Columbia. Too many shootings and other crime, as well as expensive.

Adam Schrader

Columbia alone is more violent than the lake area.

Chicago. Los Angeles. San Francisco. New York. St. Louis. Not the Lake of the Ozarks. One shooting is no where near enough to scare me. How many in ChiTown this weekend? Those other cities? Or monthly?

It doesn’t matter where we live. The crime is going up all over the country. Criminals need to be stopped. We can not defund the police. We probably need more police than ever.

A person entrusted with a permit to conceal an carry is your friend. The answer is so obvious I don't know why this is even a question.

Harry Edwards

public is just that. public!

Randel Hearne

The transportation authorities have not been able to protect us so we ought to be able to do it ourselves. Things are only get worse in regards to our personal security as our country spirals downward.

Will Mason

In public is the point. No one needs a gun in private. Public transport is a target of mass shooters.

Concealed weapons have been banned on public transportation. Those who support keeping the ban say it's a safety issue.
