Over Spring break, I took advantage of the week off and drove to the East Coast.

On the way I passed through Blacksburg, Va., home of Virginia Tech.

In light of the recent debates on Texas gun legislation I felt the need to visit the campus as well as the memorial marking one of the largest school shootings in history.

As I walked around the campus I kept thinking about how the environment of the university would change if people were actually allowed to have firearms.

More freedom. More safety.

Other than that, no change.

She made a statement:
Wouldn't it be better to do what we can to help people make better life decisions before it leads to gun violence?
My life Decision is to carry a concealed handgun, as CHLer, I have better means to take life saving decisions, if threatened with deadly means, comparable force would be deployed. :biggrinjester:
