My response to anyone criticizing my right and my decision to carry a firearm is this:
I am the First Responder. I am my OWN 911. And I’m the ONLY First Responder who cares enough about ME and MY life to protect ME and MY life. And I will ALWAYS have a gun, regardless of whatever stupid law some liberal passes to feel good and make other liberals stop wetting themselves.
I taught my wife and children to load, shoot, clear malfunctions and misfeeds if they encounter them, and generally handle firearms competently and safely. As a certified instructor, I’ve also taught many women to do the same. It’s my duty as a man to protect my family, and as an American to teach those who I can to do the same.
NO ONE should be a helpless victim of some one else’s premeditated violence - whether street thug OR government-sanctioned thug.
Pretty much period.
“NO ONE should be a helpless victim of some one else’s premeditated violence - whether street thug OR government-sanctioned thug.”
Exactly! And a bullet travels at something on the order of 1,000 ft./sec., while a doughnut muncher’s car probably no better than 25mph, and there’s no telling where it is when you need it. When seconds count, the cops are minutes away ( that is if you are lucky).
My wife and I decided to visit a new gun store last year just for the hell if it. She has never had an interest in guns. While my back was turned, she bought herself a Sig Sauer 9mm. Since that time, she’s purchased three more handguns and become a very good shot.
That first responder concept is great point! Thank you very much.

Like your attitude. Police carry weapons for the same reason we should be able to.
Amen brother. I have noticed that people find that hard to accept, but that’s the bottom line right there.
Well said. I’m doing the same.
