I'm also for LAW ABIDING citizens to carry. We have to remember that Police can't be everywhere at all times. We have to be able to protect ourselves and our loved ones. I'm also for teaching our children about guns. They not only need to KNOW how to handle a gun but also how to use one. If children are taught PROPERLY than they will learn to respect the gun and not be afraid. My kids have always been around them and they all know how to use one CORRECTLY. Our youngest is even on the Rifle Team for the ROTC at school and has won many 1st, 2nd and 3rd places for shooting.
