It's the way a majority of the CCW "handbook" pretty much reads.

90% of the time I'm a violator...but I'm willing to take chances so that myself and my family are protected

Yep pretty much.

I still say the shooter was NOT trying to shoot anyone...until he got capped by the security guard...he did miss then but he could have shot the board members at most any given time.


I just picked up another conceal carry weapon Tuesday night.

Oh, I know, which is one thing that really pisses me off. If a gunman wants to do some damage, all he has to do is go into a place where guns are banned and start shooting.

What's that chick, the state senator or something in TX? She's a huge gun advocate and watched her parents get killed in a restaurant while her gun was locked in the car because she wasn't legally allowed to have it in the place.

Its this lady. I have been told by cops that you can NOT be charged if you do save yourself or others in a "do not carry" zone.

I highly doubt that...

However, on that same note, as the saying goes...

Yep, words to live by as well as...

I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I like the whole Hollywood "lift the gun up over your head and then settle it down to the target" nonsense.

Never trust a pork product.

I remember when, even on motorcycle forums, CCW was a hot debate. Now it seems everyone and their 5 year old daughter is packing. I think we kinda realized all that bullshit cops fed us for years talking about, "If you get mugged don't fight back, they just want the money." was completely bullshit and decided to arm ourselves. Nice.
