Those of us who carry concealed firearms because we refuse to be victims, are part of the solution, not the problem.
I used yours and added some to it.

Do you for one moment believe that disarming he law abiding citizen will have any impact on the numbers of armed and dangerous criminals. When you take away our right to defend ourselves, you have condemned countless many MORE innocent citizens to attacks resulting in serious bodily injury or possible death. Let me pose this question: If you were out with your family, without your body guards, far from the nearest police patrol car, and you were being attacked by two or more individuals bent on doing you and yours great bodily harm. Then, when all seemed lost a concerned law-abiding citizen happened onto the scene, well trained in the use of handguns, producing from concealment a loaded handgun and forces these individuals to stop their attack and to leave the area. How would you feel about it then? People are able to avoid these kinds of attacks every day by being able to be armed. Not every encounter ends with shooting. Just knowing that it could is enough to discourage many aggressors. Please Re-think your position on concealed carry.
Just another bitter voter clinging to his guns and religion
