The Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd amendment applies to individual citizens. But how does that affect you? How does it affect the lives of your and your children? Who is packing a pistol? Should you be carrying one too? What you should know before you step out your front door.
If you are anti-guns, or afraid of guns, or just don't like them and don't want them in your house, then this blog is for you.

The truth about civilian gun ownership
No offense to the police department. They are doing what they can. And the situations are often vastly different. But still, these stats speak for themselves.
Police Officers: 794,300 in USA
Civilian gun owners 90,000,000 in USA
Police error rate: 11%
Civilian error rate: 2%
Police - Criminals killed /yr 606
Civilians - Criminals killed /yr 1,527
And most importantly - average deaths of innocent civilians in a rampage before the criminal is stopped:
By Police: 14.3
By Civilians: 2.3
Becoming a CHL is more than just about protecting yourself and your family. At some point, we need some ratio of CHLs in circulation just as a matter of simple Civic Duty, Social Responsibility, and Good Citizenship.
