True Story Guns

1 Many years ago when my first child was 3 months old, and before car seats, my husband, our little baby and I were traveling across country. Ahead of us were two young men running cars off the road into a ditch, one by one...very dangerous situation.

Tom told me to pick the baby up, and secure ourselves. Sure enough it was our turn. Tom picked the gun up, and pointed it at one of the young men to show him he would protect his family. You would be surprised how gentleman like these to guys suddenly became. Not only did they not harm us, they harmed no one else either. They found their behavior could be dangerous.

2. A friend of ours had a concealed weapons permit, and was eating in a restaurant. An armed robber held up the owner, and began terrorizing the clients. Our friend pulled his gun, and shot the man, who was arrested shortly there after.

My point is a gun, like a car, is a tool. It can kill, or it can save lives:

Studies show the Cities with the most gun control are the most violent ones. Like the two young men in my story, criminals tend to behave when they know law abiding citizens can protect themselves. It is not the tool that is good or bad, it is the operator. In emergencies police are not always there. click here for more info
