If I jog or run I typically like to run trails. I'm not sure how the parks are where you live, but here in the BR area, all BREC parks are "no guns allowed". Just something to think and be aware of.
I'm simply of the mindset that the police and government should spend more time protecting us from others and not so much ourselves, but that is a different road all together. I think we can all agree that weed will be legal eventually. It may be a year and it may be 10 years from now, but it...

That is a great point and well taken. What about re-routing some of the un-goldly amount of funding spent on the current war on drugs? (That wouldn't be fully needed after legalization, theoretically)
Brainstorming solutions that everybody will be happy with or everybody will be triggered by...
Legalize and regulate drugs, particularly weed with the proposal to have a security tax with no sunset latched onto the proposal. The security tax would be allocated to every school for the soul...
