My wife and I decided to get our CHL's because of concern over the Obama administration's attack on our Second Amendment rights. We also went on a crash learning (and acquisition) program regarding firearms, ammunition, and safes. We were (and still are) concerned that foolish federal regulations may someday prohibit (or severely limit) the issuing of additional licenses, additional firearms, and additional ammunition. The current administration seems intent on curtailing or eliminating the Second Amendment and all our rights associated with it. It seemed prudent to prepare for such a crisis.
In addition, of course, we live in a rather dangerous world, and I believe it is incumbent on responsible citizens to be prepared to defend ourselves if necessary. I have been negligent in this area for many years, so I am working hard to get as much education, training, and practice as possible with handguns, rifles, and shotguns, and to carry a handgun responsibly.
