Tell them who you are, they think you are all crazy. They should understand the positives from positive people.

I am not a criminal, nor mentally defective, nor have I ever caused physical harm to another person, been argumentative or even grumpy. I am a responsible citizen who has voted in every election since I turned 21, have been involved in and organized serious volunteer community projects from stream side clean up to raising the funds to test every child on a small Caribbean island for cycle cell anemia.
I was taught to shoot when I was seven by a strict and safety conscious father, an Armament Officer overseas during the War, he instilled the discipline I still rely on when practicing to this day. I have had a permit to carry concealed weapons, every where I have resided for 50 years. I have never shot or intimidated anyone in those fifty years. The only time I ever took my weapon out of the holster was during a woodland walk with my 3 yo daughter when we were surrounded by a pack of feral dogs, I was happy I had it.
I have no blood on my hands, I am not responsible for the maniacal actions of others. Why do you want to take away my ability to protect my family and myself?

I doubt that'll see the light of day.

A Nationalized CCW Law may help drag those few draconian states that believe CCW permits will turn their streets into "The OK Corral" out of their dark age beliefs...

They just printed it. These are the hard core enemy, they must hear our story.

So, how does one post a comment without creating a subscription?

Sorry but you can't...I would argue however that you should have a sub and be reading the NYT everyday. Sun Tzu in The Art of War says you must know your enemy better than he knows himself, if you are to be victorious.

Pay for a subscription to the NYT..... really?
