Gentlemen,

I have browsed this forum for over a year now, but sadly this is my first post. However, I thought my first post would be something honest and from the heart...

Every day we wake up and witness the cruel and violent issues and people that are among us. A large contribution to the world being like this is the way firearms are used by criminals and careless people. Us as law abiding citizens carry firearms to provide security for ourselves, loved ones, and others if something cruel or violent occurred in which we are involved. Many people do not understand or can not fully comprehend the reason why we carry firearms, which is both sad and unfortunate. I am very proud to know there are others like myself who carry to educate, defend, protect, and practice our Second Amendment rights. Be safe, stay responsible, and stand proud when your firearm is on your side. On behalf of myself and others who feel the same but may never be able to express... Thank you.

-Jeff

I believe that we (good citizens) have a moral and ethical responsibility to be able to protect ourself and our families and while we would like to be able to rely on the police to do that, they are out numbered by the bad guys and we must be able to ensure our own safety.

Thanks for sharing!!! I myself OC for the same reasons you mentioned. People sometimes are shocked that a 19 year old like myself decideds to OC. Many people are just ignorant about the true facts. I have been stopped and asked about my right to bear arms and I gladly answers. Arizona and its OCing residents are the best!!!!:celebrate
