Re: Refer to folks with CHL as Peacekeepers

What do you think?

I have a CHL and I'll never qualify as a "peacekeeper" in most people's opinion. You see, when I got my license, I made a promise to myself that I'll not play hero. If my gun comes out, it means my life or a loved one's life is in immediate danger.

Even given the VA Tech's shooting, if I'm outside the building and the shooter's shooting people inside, I will not run in with my gun. I'll render aid to anybody needing it, but I'll not jump in and try to be a "peacekeeper".
