It has me wondering if I should carry at all. And I don't think I'm alone.
This is a terrible tragedy, but I think it would be a shame if incidents like these convince us that we should not exercise our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If you have a CHL, then you are LAWFULLY allowed to carry in the proper places. One cannot control the way others react, but we can control our own actions. I think the thing I personally have learned from this situation is not to
argue my right to carry with the un-educated. If asked to leave, I will leave, and likely not return. I will also make the time to speak with the manager/owner about the situation, but not right at that moment. This whole scenario scares me silly, but I won't be leaving my gun at home over it. Just my 2c...
