I think there are some psychological states that we can't understand if we don't share the experience.

My father was in combat in WW II. He was shot at by Japanese planes. He had bombs dropped on his position. He lost friends. Afterward, he had no use for guns. I respected his feelings.

Isn't that a great irony?

I have come to the conclusion that people who carry weapons, whether CHL holders, off-duty or plainclothes law enforcement, or any other person who can carry legally, are a net benefit to society. The fact that they may be in a crowd deters some criminals.

You can carry in a church unless it is 30.06 posted. The original CHL law made churches off-limits, but it was amended.
