There is nothing that puts fear in a dirtbag like the potential of facing an armed citizen that refuses to be a victim. North Carolina is an open carry state that means you can carry a gun in the open however if you want to carry a gun concealed you have to have a state issued permit. North Carolina requires you to take a class that includes time on the range to show that you can safely handle a gun. I spent Friday evening and part of Saturday in a classroom learning about the gun laws of the state as well as gun safety. After the classroom we went to the range and did the shooting part.
Now that I’ve completed the class I now can go to the sheriff’s office and submit an application for a conceal carry permit. I believe our fore fathers certainly expected a society where people had the option to be armed and not a society that depends on government. I guess as we look at how things in our country are going there sure are a lot of people looking for others to give them things.
We have had a number of things at one of my hunting clubs that have been stolen recently. I suspect if the economy continues to tank will see more and more crime as some seem to have little regard for what is the right thing to do.
Shootings in our society seem to happen far too often; a congress woman meeting with her constituents in a shopping center, a man looking to settle a score with his ex wife walks in and shoots up a nursing home, someone walks in and shots up a pancake house, or someone walks into a classroom and starts shooting. Granted the odds of such an event happening to one of us is pretty low but shouldn’t you have the chance to defend yourself and your loved ones?
We hope that one day there will be a national right to carry.
