Another Good Reason

There are many good reasons to allow law-abiding people to be armed in self defense. There is the obvious: to be able to defend themselves against the myriad of ILLEGAL guns out there, in the hands of thugs and killers, who are willing to KILL people to be able to take what they have worked for, and EARNED. That's one, and probably the most important one. Then there is the possibility that the government, itself decided to victimize people. They need to know they are just as easily stopped by a bullet as is anybody else. Hunting? Yes, but that is the least important reason. Another reason is to help defend the law enforcement officers when they get in trouble trying to apprehend a criminal, who "gets the drop on them." That's what happened in this case: An officer in Estero, FL, was pursuing a man, who jumped out of his car and started beating the hell out of the cop, who was alone. A bystander, who was a licensed "concealed carrier," ordered him to stop, and when he did not, the bystander shot him three times, killing him. There's no telling what would have became of that officer, had that bystander not taken action. That officer might have been beaten to death. People in the vicinity of such occurrences with concealed guns can be very helpful to the cops when they get into a bad situation. Maybe even life or death. (LEO Affairs)
