You uneducated, delusional lady. I don’t carry a gun because I’m afraid to go outside w/o it. I carry a gun because I’m educated on the monsters that prey on defenseless people like you. If you watch the news and don’t know that these monsters exist then it is you who needs to seek help with your issues.

I installed a concealed gun safe in the floorboard of my truck so that when I have to leave my gun in my truck it is in a secured location. Sitting in my truck you never even know there is a safe there unless you lift the floor mat. I pay a lot of money on my guns, ammo, permit and range shooting to have some thug rob me of all my hard work. After all if you’re going to be a CCW holder shouldn’t you do all you can to keep that right?

What are you supposed to do bolt a gun safe in the trunk of your car? Cars are broken into EVERY DAY all over this country, for no apparent reason. Trunks are popped; cars are stolen. If you leave your gun in the vehicle, it is essentially unsecured.

This problem doesn’t just exist at the courthouse where you can carry up to the steps. It also exists at the airport, where you can carry up to the front door. It also exists at schools where you can legally carry up to the campus.

The fact of the matter is those holding a Concealed Carry Permit are the most law abiding citizens in the country. It is a documented fact that Concealed Carry Permit holders are less likely to commit a crime than law enforcement officers. It is time that our politicians, and the no-minds behind the anti-gun organizations start looking at these realities, and stop propagating falsehoods. Concealed Carry Permit holders take the responsibility of carrying their gun very seriously.

I have the utmost respect for our law enforcement officers, but seldom are they afforded the opportunity to stop a crime in progress, typically what they do is take reports from victims. If you want to be a victim, great… Go for it! But, don’t tell me that I have to be one, because you are afraid to defend yourself.

Do these people opposed to carring guns really expect law officers to be everywhere in time to defend them from evil?
If just laws keep people from comiting evil deeds then let’s get rid of the expense of having law officers.
All drivers follow the laws of safe driving so we don’t need officers patrolling our roads, right?

When I was in school we brought our guns to school to show and to be able to go out hunting or shooting right after school. The principal of our elementary school often would shoot pigeons off of the school with a 22 after school was out.
Every boy and some of the girls had a pocket knife and we would carve at recess, and there was never a threat of someone cutting another person.

You need to think about what has changed to make the world a more dangerous place and how you will protect yourself and people you care about.
Maybe reject the position that it is someone else’s responsibility to ensure your safety.
