Her speech also makes you wonder about the sanity of complying with some "gun control" laws.

I'd gladly go to jail for carrying concealed if I had the opportunity to take that guy out that crashed in and began shooting. Or the guy on the VT campus. Or if I had been a teacher in Columbine.

This is a very big reason why I carry everywhere:

"Jeremy Murrell – black, age 23 Sentenced to death in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
By: A jury
Date of crime: August 2003
Prosecution’s case/defense response: Lawrence Harding was kidnapped from the restaurant where he worked, robbed of $100, and shot twice. His body was found in the trunk of his car eight days later in Virginia. Murell was turned in by three of his Winston-Salem State University classmates after he bragged about the crime. The defense focused on Murrell’s troublesome childhood with a schizophrenic mother and a mentally unstable father.
Prosecutor(s): Jennifer Martin
Defense lawyer(s): Kevin Mauney
Sources: Associated Press 2/8/06, 2/18/06; Charlotte Observer 2/19/06"




My cousin is the one that was kidnapped and murdered. I wasn't old enough to carry back then, but it got me to start carrying once I was old enough. He would probably be alive right now if he had been carrying.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

I've recently found this community after being frustrated with trying to carry concealed effectively. I do hope to increase awareness of OC. Maybe in the future less of this senseless stuff will occur.
