"I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face…and a
gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for
having me next to you. I won’t shoot you. My gun won’t pull it’s own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can’t
just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the
grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may
get shot before I can pull the trigger…but, I won’t die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child’s life.
No, if I die it will be in a pile of spent shell casings. I won’t be
that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don’t ask you to carry
a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don’t. But I would like
to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil
in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too."

Maybe y'all should go back to the West in the 1800s.
Everyone wearing a six gun on their hip.
Y'all are getting goofier by the day Johnny. Is this what I have to look forward to in my mid 80s or is it a result of all those ladder accidents? A soft noggin can only take so much trauma.

No one rational should feel safer with someone armed and my age standing
next to them in a store. :)
