This happens every day in America. The granny next to you sifting through tomatoes probably has a Glock 19 in that oversized bag on her shoulder she calls a purse. The tatted guy with his family getting milk from the fridge probably has one on his ankle. That 30-something soccer mom pumping gas next to you has hers strapped to her body under the baggy shirt she’s wearing over her sleeveless t-shirt.
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. Be smart don’t blame the guns, blame the people using them.
