That's what I'm being paid for. To give them the best I can give them which now includes my expertise with a gun. For me, the pain of loss through self defense is less than the pain of being knowingly un-prepared, when it was within my ability not to be so. The US is the largest arms dealer in the world. We as a nation help financially support this through our purchases of the products, our jobs in the factories and outlets and our legislation.
Lets face facts.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. I can't wait for the winds of change to blow over the nation while I'm under a barrage of bullets. I know it's illegal to carry weapons onto school grounds but that's never stopped anyone intent on doing harm. Until it's legal for adults to protect themselves from the danger on schools grounds, I'll be an outlaw. But hopefully, I'll be alive.
