I have a good history with guns.

I grew up in a family where guns were commonplace my grandfather loved being a sportsman and hunted regularly. Since the age of 12, my father and I have hunted birds together. It's a social activity where you can walk around and talk, rather than sit in the cold like a ninja in a deer blind, waiting for some unassuming animal to walk into your line of fire.

But with all of my training and family background, I don't carry a weapon.
Why would I go to all of that trouble to become a CPL holder and yet not carry a concealed weapon? Because I strongly feel I do not have enough day to day familiarity with a handgun to be useful in a gunfight. It's more likely I would do more harm than good ...

President Obamas latest push for new gun regulations is a distraction. It is a distraction designed for the news media and the low information voter. After all, President Obama merely has to whisper the words mass murder and the Democrat news media will parade a backdrop of bloody victims on a green screen. Those images are enough to convince many Americans. The President is desperate because Democrats have a money problem this election cycle.

The Democrat party is desperate for an infusion of campaign cash from anti-gun groups.
