Great Facebook post

I read the following on Facebook and thought I would share it.


"I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may freeze up. I may piss my pants. I may get shot before I can pull the trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child's life. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too...

I have a few pro gun shirts that I wear. I have never received a negative comment. Positive comments range from "where did you get that shirt, I want one", "nice shirt" and so on.
My mom, wife and I were on a driving trip and were in line at a store and I had one on that says something like "gun safety rule #1, carry one". A lady behind us said "I like your shirt". I said thanks. She explained something about her daughter working someplace that inspired her daughter to begin carrying, but that she was not comfortable with firearms. She then said "I feel safer knowing there are people like you out there. Thank you."
She did not know if I was or wasn't carrying, I was and it was concealed(legally). What she did not realize it that my wife was also carrying.

Hopefully I will NEVER have to experience this situation, but I will act just as that post states.
