ORIGINAL: Dragonspinkkitty Because when seconds matter the cops are minutes away. A lot of people have no clue that our police officers are under no obligation to put their life on the line to save ours. Stricter gun laws do no stop violent crime as criminals do not abide by the laws. Only law abiding citizens abide by the laws. Gun free zones create the perfect environment for criminals to work because there is no one there to stop them. I have obtained my GWL and I carry my sidearm where ever it is legal to do so. Sometimes in my purse, sometimes on my hip openly. Depends on what I am wearing that day. My husband also carries. We know that in the event that something should happen, we are prepared to protect ourselves, each other, our family and other citizens. Amazing! In two of your first four posts you have managed to include almost every gun cliche imaginable. Congratulations. I'll have to check but I think the NRA gives out a prize for things like this (I believe it's a shiny new gun). Great! Do I get my pick? Cliche as they may be, the fact remains it is still truth. It boggles my mind that people that the burglar/rapist/crackhead/intruder are going to show up to cause bodlily harm and/or theft as the same time a police officer just happens to be what driving by? That is not a cliche, it is true, when seconds matter, police are minutes away. Where I live it is considered part of what is called the Village Preservation area, and we don't even have a police force of our own, we rely on the the neighboring city of Rockland and they are about 12 miles away. So assuming I am the only call they get, and I am faced with an intruder kicking in my door or whatever scenario you want to pick, you think I have a minimum of 10 minutes to wait for the cops? Are you kidding me? Oh and rule, I know you know this, I am a liberal, I abhor the NRA, I really think they suck, but I don't abhor my life or protecting my person, my animals, and yep my stuff. Would I should someone over stuff? Yes. So no thanks onn ay prizes from the NRA, the only prize I want is the right to protect myself, my home, and my loved ones.
