The nation’s attention was on Chicago recently where a police officer and two others were murdered by a deranged gunman at Chicago’s Mercy Hospital. The loss of life may have even been greater were it not for the bravery and heroism of Chicago police officer Samuel Jimenez, who gave his life to protect others. While we mourn the lives lost in tragedies like these, it’s important to learn from them and have a real conversation in our society about whether we are truly doing everything possible to protect ourselves and those around us. |

| Great story. If you can, just don't patronize places that look at you as if you're some kind of suspect. In order to get a CCW permit, you have been shown to have "NO" felony convictions in your lifetime, You have "Never" been convicted of any drug offenses, You have "Passed" a criminal background check. So yes, "Gun Free" zones were invented to display total disrespect for the law abiding, and giving criminals the "OK" to come in and do as they will. Shameful... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
