MY CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSES—

Yesterday’s Headlines:

Gunman Kills 5 in Utah Shopping Mall
4 Dead in Philadelphia Business Meeting Shooting

These headlines are but recent examples of why I choose to go through everyday life armed.

A violent attack can occur any place at any time.

I regret it is necessary but I refuse to be a defenseless victim.

I refuse to stare at life through rose-colored glasses and delude myself with the fiction it always happens to someone else.

I value my life and that of my usually defenseless companions.

You may make your own choice regarding your, your family’s and your friends’ daily safety.

Thank you for respecting mine.
