Did you see that video in one of the links I provided about the guns being confiscated in N.O. during Katrina? That woman was quite elderly...but, I'd trust her with a firearm. Notice how she said she was handling the gun when the goons tackled her to disarm her?
This kind of reminds me of people that have a license to drive a vehicle...when they probably really shouldn't. Life just can't be made risk less...well, I suppose you could lock yourself in a prison cell to avoid...life in this world.

You know, I've said for most of my life that I'd probably be a victim of gun violence...because I'm so adamant about protecting our rights as Americans. Our founding fathers thought it was our responsibility to keep things in check. I didn't even own a gun until about 3 years ago...but, have always tried to speak up for those who do carry.
I can see the need for more widespread gun ownership in America if the number of LEO's are let go. I hope it doesn't happen. I hope this country doesn't hit as low as some predict. If it does, it's going to be ugly and I will do everything I can to protect my loved ones.
