As a lawful concealed pistol licensee, I carry for my defense and the defense of my family. In today’s society, the “copy-cats” of criminal intent are choosing gun free zones as their killing zones.

I WILL NOT fear these killing zones and I WILL NOT allow my family to be the victims of an evil murderer. Please, if you do not fully understand firearms and the 2nd amendment, I implore you to get educated and seek the truth for yourselves. Thank you.
