Feel the need to mention the fact: the world contains people with many different views. We fight and have fought the world over to protect our rights and way of life, as have many countries. The guns legally owned by our citizens are a deterrent to those who would walk all over us if they could. That same mentality is minimized by just one person legally carrying a gun, but still serves as a deterrent against those who do not care for our rights and lives. When I consider the world, I see people carrying guns because they have been and are continually threatened with malcontent. If for no other reason, we carry to protect our women, children, and countries. Many women the world over are carrying for this same purpose. May God bless them all.
