10 things non-gun people should know about CCW holders.

It's very sad that a large number of us that feel the same way the author does (and have the same qualifications/good cause for CCW ) live in areas where politics, NOT the common welfare & safety of us "good guys", rules, therefore leaving many of us to either 1) comply w/ that & become vulnerable & unable to save lives (our own included) in a last resort/crisis situation, OR 2) carry our legally-acquired firearms (YES, in holsters!) regardless of "not getting the okay" from some politically-minded Sheriff, because some refuse to sacrifice the ability to protect & save lives, if absolutely necessary, just because of being told "NO, denied." Once an innocent civilian is killed - they're gone. That's it, Jack. The excruciating, unbearable effect that has on the endless line of loved ones who will never see their beloved again,; never being able to pick up the phone and say "What's up?" or "I love you" again; never again hearing the precious voice, or looking into the eyes that were so full of life - some won't even entertain the idea of simply not being able to prevent that kind of thing, as we ALL have the potential for being "at the wrong place @ the wrong time."
Anyway, about the 10 "statements": What rational person with common sense wouldn't agree with what this says? Unfortunately, the message will only be seen and/accepted by those people I just mentioned. And sadly, those people happen to be us. And we're in the minority. Waaaay outnumbered. Waaaay "out- politicked". Waaaaay out $$$$$$$'ed.

Sonic, I agree with you, wholeheartedly. Do you think the Sac Bee would have the gumption to print it if it were sent to the Op-Ed section? If you think so, I'll mail it this weekend.

I for one would like to know at which point in our history did the right to self defense and self-preservation become a non-issue at the very least, and a non civil right in the grand scheme of things?

I find it very difficult to understand how the legislature continues to ramrod "hate-crime" legislation down everyone's throats year after year, yet they'll continually stifle legislation granting the law abiding their inherent right to arms (concealed or otherwise).

Perhaps it's the dependency of the governed upon the government which is the ultimate goal. How sad. We've effectively surrendered our frontier spirit and self-reliance for the conveniences of empowering a few to run our lives.

Send it to them anyway, just in case they surprise you and publish it.

They won't. BUT:send it anyway (and maybe several copies from different origins). If it gets printed, I'll throw some kind of friggin' party here in Sac.!! Seriously, though, these "rule/lawmaking politician" scumf**k degenerate; hypocrite_____________________< fill in with anything which describes the lowest form of subhuman trash>'s are wasting & sucking up precious O2 that FAR-more deserving individuals should have extra quantities of! < (don't send that to the BEE!!!) What would be absolute poetic justice is if one of these "political" "CCW decision-makers" was out on the town one night w/family, friends, etc., and "something" unfolded (I won't get into details) and one of said politician's "denials" was right there to say " I'd love to help you , but, unfortunately, unlike the thugs that are about to start lighting up the vicinity around us w/ gunfire, I am unarmed. Remember me? Yeah, I was the one you denied for a CCW. You read & confirmed my extensive training background, and, by the way, I am a marksman champion. Oh, well.... sorry. They seem to be more interested in you than me, so I'd better be scootin' my butt outa here. Oh.....did I say "good luck?"...............
