Since 9/11, I have learned that you can not count on the govt., police or other agencies to save you in time. They are a good service in a lot of cases, but they are very hard pressed to show up in time to save you.
If you believe one of these agencies will save you when you ultimately need it, you are sorely mistaken.
Not that a handgun or rifle is going to save you if a commercial jet crashes into your building...but the aftermath is what I saw. People could not be saved because of inpreparedeness on part of the govt.

Anyhow, you are ultimately responsible for your own survival, your own safety and your own escape. This is the way nature has worked since the beginning of time. The same way Stegasaurus was equipped with armor plates to survive in its environment, we equip ourselves with weapons to survive in ours.
All of the stats talking about gun violence...they need to rehash that these crimes were done by criminals, not law abiding citizens. No one has linked a story of gun violence commited by a CCW permit holder. So, any and ALL statistics about this being bad are completely baseless.
