Good stuff. I was worried the post had a sarcastic tone to it, but was glad to see I was wrong.

(on a side note, having a popup before looking at every picture is crazy annoying)

Hope your appointments secretary has really good rapport with all the bad guys, so you can know when & where else you are going to need it.

Shannon Pena and Alaine Helmatoler
The two women above attend a women's open-carry "meet-up" at a nail salon and spa in Fremont, Calif. "I had to load my gun one time," says Alaine, describing a moment when she feared for her safety, "and I was shaking. I don't know if I could have used it."

This is the person who is going to have her gun taken away and used on her. It's a horrible thing to contemplate, but if you are going to carry for self defense you must be ready and willing to use that lethal force without hesitation - once you have determined that it is necessary. Not really a put-down of Ms. Helmatoler, but rather an encouragement for her to consider her moral imperatives.

stay safe.

I was surprised at its even tone, as Time usually leans further to the left. It'd be nice if all media publications leaned towards the truth rather than a political party, and I'm glad Time's pictorial essay simply portrayed those of us who open for what we are: Responsible, law-abiding citizens of our nation.
