What If She Had Had Her Glock?

Numerous members of South Carolina Grassroots Gun Rights organization sent emails, made phone calls and mailed letters to our junior Senator in the hopes of chiding him into allowing S.2554 to proceed through the legislative process and allow the bill to be debated and voted on in his committee.

We all received the same 'boiler-plate" reply back, complete with erroneous information and superfluous details on issues unrelated to that with which we were writing about.

Our junior senator has no interest in allowing Ellen Saracini to testify in front of his committee. He would much prefer that S.2554 simply die in his committee when the senate adjourns for their summer recess. To allow Mrs. Saracini to speak would require that he also allow discussion of the bill and possibly allow a vote on the bill. And that certainly is not what Senator Foghorn Leghorn wants.

Remember this; September 11th, 2001 was the REAL cost of Gun Control.

Dillon Klebold, Eric Harris, Colin Ferguson and Mohammed Attah all had one thing in common. Each of them chose to attack a location where our government would guarantee their safety by denying any second amendment rights of armed self-defense to their intended victims.

It is my understanding that Barbara Olsen left her Glock at home, right next to her Virginia State concealed weapons permit. That way, she would obey the law when she set foot aboard the government's "terrorist protection zones", or rather, the "victim disarmament zone" that we commonly call commercial aircraft.

    A lot of people probably think this is a radical position to take, but the lady who lost her parents in the Luby's massacre in Texas said the same thing. She left her Glock in the car and wished she had it when she saw this fellow walking down the line executing people. If the government is going to create victim disarmament zones, it had better be willing to protect us while we are in them.

    Otherwise, it should not be surprised by the occasional case of civil disobedience, nor should it punish such actions harshly in present circumstances. CCW means just that. Not every Tom, Dick and Harry with a regulation has a right to know when I happen to be carrying or not.
