It is an American right not a wrong. It is common knowledge that it reduces crime significantly. Police cannot be everywhere at once. A loaded hand gun commands respect! Read the Second Amendment if you still think we have a Constitution! Work to end draconian laws on open carry, concealed carry or just owning a gun. It is an American right not a wrong.

It is a tattoo shop so we get all kinds of shady characters coming through the door.I live in coldwater MI where there is a definate meth problem, so I am thankful to GOD for the right to protect my family, home, and business. There also seems to be a really bad sex offender problem here in coldwater, chomos everywhere.I dont care if I may be sent to prison, No one is going to harm my children or my wife, and it is my GOD given right to protect them from rapoes and chomos. People always say,"why carry a gun, why not just call the cops?"Yeah right, the whole point is to prevent the crime from taking place,not to wait until the damage is already done.I respect law enforcement, but they can't be there 24/7.
