There is little doubt that our country is under attack. The islamic terrorist group ISIS has made it clear that they intend to attack American cities as they have Paris. But our president continues to prove that he is allied with ISIS and does not have the best interest of the United States at heart. In fact, it is becoming more and more evident that he is actively working to harm the american government and its citizens.
So what do we do when we have a president who is determined to place this country in harms way?
We take responsibility for our own safety.
One good thing that is emerging from President Obama’s continued threats against the American public is that everyone has seen the truth, everyone now understands that depending on the government to protect us and keep us safe is not the answer. We must take responsibility for our own safety.
In a statement on concealed carry responsibility released exclusively to Breitbart News presidential candidate Donald Trump says:
There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of the 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to “keep and bear arms.” This fundamental liberty is held closest by those who have gone through the process of vetting required to be entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property with concealed weapons.
The concept of concealed carry is as much intended to deter criminal activity as it is to provide direct defense of those who have those permits. Not all concealed carry permit holders “carry” all the time. Thus, the deterrent value is that those who might contemplate criminal behavior will think twice when that doubt exists.
Carrying a weapon is not always feasible or appropriate. However, given the increased tensions that are the result of continued, escalating terrorism around the world, more legitimately armed individuals on the streets is a positive outcome. Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry. I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same. Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is “yes,” but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America. Deterring violence is far better than dealing with the aftermath of an act of terror. Less blood, more security. That is what will make America great again.
On Saturday, Breitbart News reported that Nashville talk radio show host Ralph Bristol said “concealed carry permit holders have a duty to be armed” in light of the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.
