Toledo Ohio --(AmmoLand.com)- In Toledo Ohio, a thug has gone on an ugly and violent crime spree.

His technique is to prowl parking lots looking for an unlocked car he knows to be owned by a woman. He hides in the car then pounces when the woman gets in, robbing or threatening to rape the victim at gunpoint.

The advice from police? Lock your car doors.

That’s sensible advice, but it doesn’t address the central issue. What happens if the thug jumps you in the parking lot? Or what if he pulls out a gun while you’re in a fast food store? This particular thug has done both.

The real message from Toledo police is that they can’t protect you or prevent a crime. Your personal security is up to you.

Security experts will tell you to be aware of your surroundings and listen to your gut. If you see someone who appears out of place or threatening, you should take evasive action. That’s fine as far as it goes, but if you’re serious about security, you have to ask yourself an important question: “Then what?”

If you’re aware of your surroundings, see a threat, and do everything you can to avoid a confrontation but can’t, then what? If you lock your doors and turn on your security system and a bad guy breaks in anyway, then what? If you dial 911 and the operator tells you police will arrive within 10 minutes, but a criminal is threatening you now, then what?

This is one reason that maintaining the right to bear arms is such a vital piece of the security puzzle. Once you accept the fact that your security is up to you, not the police, and after you take ordinary precautions to lower your risk, you must ask yourself, “Then what?”

This is also why we decided to give away an Ithaca 12-gauge self-defense shotgun. If you’re in your home and encounter an unauthorized visitor at 3 a.m., this particular piece of hardware offers an immediate and effective answer to the question “Then what?”

Gun control advocates want to prevent you from having a good answer to that question. They assume we’re trying to force guns on everyone. We’re not. We just want to make sure people have all available options. Whether you choose to use them is up to you.

Gun Rights Roundup is a joint venture of Buckeye Firearms Association and USCCA. We will keep fighting until every American enjoys their natural right to carry and self-defense.

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus

USA - -(AmmoLand.com)- Have you ever seen an article in the news that makes you wonder where the country is headed? The ones I’m talking about concern young people who tend to show their ignorance of and lack of interest in things like the Second Amendment and gun rights?

Well, there is a large number of young folks out there who are working as hard as you are to ensure we get to keep those rights. The group I’m talking about is the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus.

Imagine this scenario: You are at least 21 years old. You have a concealed carry permit, issued by your county’s sheriff. You have decided that you want to start a local organization of like minded people. It would be for social and educational purposes such as enhancing knowledge and sharing information. You are told by the local government that you cannot do such a thing, purely due to it being related to guns. Nor would you be able to locally advertise in support of such an organization. And you certainly would be denied the use of any of the government’s facilities to have a meeting of such people. Use the “Community Center”? Well, not in this community, you don’t.

Wouldn’t you be outraged at such treatment?
Especially when this treatment is prohibited by state law and the US Constitution? Well, it is happening right now, all over the country! The great news is that there are many of our very best young Americans (and some not so young) working very hard to change this situation. It is called the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, and they are continually working to eliminate such restrictions where and when they find them. And they need your help to do more of this very important work.

Here are some examples:

From a then-24 year old freshman in Pennsylvania: “When my college tried to infringe my freedom of speech because they did not want me talking about my Second Amendment rights, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education came to my aid. If you google my name it will not be hard to find the news stories about it. ”

“I won, though it took 7 months to teach my college about the 1st Amendment, forcing CCAC to retract its unconstitutional solicitation policy and allow me to form a chapter of SCCC on a campus where a dean had told me “this would NEVER be allowed here” and I will win every battle like this because I am on the side of liberty and justice and anyone who opposes me is doing so out of an emotional fear and will not have a rational argument. If you find yourself in any similar situation I will help, and I will find help for you. “

Imagine a public college denying a citizen the 1st Amendment right because they wanted to use it to promote 2nd Amendment rights! However, this is more common than it should be – so we need to stand up and make ourselves heard. Just like she did.

Fox News’ Kelley Beaucar Vlahos reported at the time that . . . .

“The latest flare-up involves Christine Brashier, who says officials at the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) violated her First Amendment right to free speech when they stopped her from posting and distributing fliers advocating for concealed carry on campus, and for a new chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC) at the college. The group has about a dozen chapters on other Pennsylvania campuses, Shibley said.

“I genuinely wanted to start discussion on the topic,” Brasier told FOXNews.com this week. ” I am not such an avid gun owner as much of the news has made me out to be — I simply believe in liberty and that college is the place for a debate about important issues such as this one.”

Brashier maintains she was hauled into a meeting with the dean, who told her “that the club would never be approved, that the school did not wish to discuss the topic, and to cease speaking about it as well as destroy the literature.” David Hoovler, a school spokesman, told FOXNews.com that “Brashier was a good student and that the incident had nothing to do with the issue of firearms on campus. The student government has the authority for approving campus organizations, he said, (emphasis added) and it’s all about procedure”.

But is it really about procedure?
Or about control, and treating students like children? This is certainly not treating people like the voting-age, non-criminal adults that they must be to obtain a concealed carry permit. Again from the  Fox News article:

“In March (2009), Central Connecticut State University student John Wahlberg and two classmates gave a presentation for their communications class on whether the death toll at Virginia Tech might have been smaller if faculty and students had been allowed to carry guns. That night, Wahlberg says, he was called into the campus police department, which already had a list of his registered guns, which were locked away off-campus.”

“Wahlberg’s professor had reported him to security out of “safety” concerns, according to The Recorder, the campus newspaper. Certainly, campus officials and campus law enforcement are against the idea of more guns in private citizens’ hands at school.

Lisa Sprague, president of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, said the group put out a position statement after the Virginia Tech incident against concealed carry on campus. They say there is “no credible evidence to suggest that the presence of students carrying concealed weapons would reduce violence on our college campuses,” and could even serve to create more dangerous situations.”

Well, in the current case before the courts in Colorado, the proof that Ms. Sprague says she is seeking is plain for all to see.

During the timeframe that concealed carry was allowed on campus, the last seven years, the crime rate at that campus went down, significantly and steadily. It is now at about one third of its former level. Rapes have fallen 84%. Shouldn’t this get someone’s attention in a positive way?

Nearly lost in that current battle is the fact that the students at CUS have done a perfect job of not having any incidents involving those firearms that they carry. Is that not a “double win”? Less crime and none of the bad outcomes the administration, Brady and Violence Policy Center keep warning us about? Ah, sorry, you must be dreaming of an earlier time . . . .

This year, the CSU Faculty Policy Committee, decided a “feel-good” gun ban was needed. The student body clearly is opposed to this policy. Imagine their shock when the University’s Board of Directors, led by the president of the university, overturned the vote of the student body! Aren’t the administrators the ones who have kept saying it is all up to the students in their ability to self-govern? Another lie, obviously. It apparently means you can do what you want, students, as long as we agree.

What a way to set the example! They just want you to think you have say over your lives. Well, you can still vote, can’t you?

Are you outraged yet?
Are you ready to act? If you are thinking “no, not in my state, not at my son’s and daughter’s campus”, you are, unfortunately mistaken. This IS the case in the vast majority of campuses across the United States. Think it does not apply to you, just because you are older? Wrong. Think it doesn’t apply to you because you are a retired law enforcement person. Wrong again. Former military? Again, you are mistaken.

Everyone, not just students, is prohibited from carrying a gun on most campuses except active police. As indicated by the three robberies in the last month on our local University of Washington campus, this policy does not seem to work, preventively speaking.

So, what are you going to do about it? Whatever it is, start now. Educate your children and grandchildren about the importance of their rights wherever they are, including college campuses. Have them join SCCC. And you can too. Take action yourselves to help bring these schools to their senses concerning the basic human right to self-defense, let alone the right to carry on campus. This effort is primarily won or lost at the local and state level, and there is where we most need your help.

We also need campus leaders, state and regional directors, and not all of them need to be active students. We also need trainers and advisors for campuses to help them learn the “right stuff,” and to assist them with the pursuit of changes to local and state laws and regulations.

They also need your advice, your knowledge and your connections to ranges, training, state, county and city politicians and law enforcement officials, and to prospective donors who might be willing to help their fight for human rights. Welcome to this part of the fight to restore the basic rights of adults. Volunteer early and often!

Please email us at CCM@concealedcampus.org for more information, and to learn what you personally can do to help in your specific area, on the campus of your choice.

We want to thank very much the US Concealed Carry Association for helping us to bring this important message to you. And if you want to sign up your favorite college student with USCCA, please go to our website (http://www.concealedcampus.org/) to do so. USCCA has agreed to make a donation to us for everyone who joins their group through ours. Same great USCCA benefits and prices, while helping our young people continue SCCC’s important work.

What is Students for Concealed Carry on Campus?
Born out of the Virginia Tech shootings, and raised through the magic of the Internet, SCCC began as a Facebook page. It was formed for the discussion of this single issue, on-campus carry. This became a very hot topic as the story at VA Tech unfolded in April of 2007. Seemingly overnight, the members of the Facebook page grew extremely fast. It went from zero to over 20,000 members in a very short time. The organization grew from below, finally getting campus, state and national leadership in place.

There was no shortage of volunteers from among the students and even some from the staff and faculty of colleges and universities around the country. Communications became difficult as the number of members, now nearly 43,000, overwhelmed Facebook’s limits. SCCC has leaders at almost four hundred campuses in nearly every state in America. If you search Facebook for groups under “Concealed Carry students” you will see 381 different groups. Your favorite campus may be among them.

Note: All SSSC members are unpaid volunteers.

Before we get started with this week’s AAR adventure, I would be remiss if I didn’t talk a bit about last weekends show.  My in -studio guest “David” was a victim of an attempted armed robbery and because he himself was armed, the robber didn’t get very far.  His story was followed up with analysis by Massad Ayoob and attorney John Monroe.  The show was incredibly compelling and if you have already made the decision to carry a gun or are even thinking about it, please visit last weeks program at www.armedamericanradio.org, it truly is “must listen” to radio.

Palo Alto situation.

Also, I’ll be continuing the Grassroots discussions with guests from Nevada Gun Owners and Ohioans for Concealed Carry.  Folks, it’s the local grassroots groups in your neck of the woods that are responsible for so many of the freedoms you have.  I’ve talked to groups from Iowa, Oregon, Ohio, Virginia, Georgia, and now Nevada and we’ll get to every state that airs AAR in the near future.!

Buckeye Firearms Foundation

Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama assured gun owners that he was no threat to gun rights. And so far, his administration has publicly steered clear of the issue.

However, behind the scenes, he and his staff have shown support for the U.N. Gun Ban, an international treaty on small arms sales that could sidestep established American gun rights and pose a serious threat to the Second Amendment.

President George W. Bush refused to involve America in any aspect of the U.N. Gun Ban treaty. But the government’s position changed when Obama gave Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the green light to begin the negotiation process.

Worse, the small arms treaty brings up a horrifying proposition that the theory of “international norms” means the U.S. might be bound by the treaty even if we never sign on.

Basically, once the small arms treaty is accepted by enough nations, the argument can be made that the provisions become accepted practice and binding on all nations. Based on that logic, America is hurt by the U.N. treaty whether we are a party to it or not.

Barack Obama is the most anti gun president in history and his anti-gun views are a threat to gun rights. If he can destroy the right to bear arms while cozying up to the U.N., without paying a political price, he will surely do so.

Second Amendment March

Michigan - -(AmmoLand.com)-  Well, folks, the Second Amendment March is now less than 100 days away, and I can feel the momentum building, swelling, growing like a live organism beneath my feet. I feel as if I’ve been pushing on a giant rock for the past ten months, pushing as hard as I can for all I’m worth. Pushing when I’m tired. Pushing when I’m sore. And pushing when I’m discouraged.

But I have good news for you. Last week I pushed and the rock moved. And not just a little, but a lot!

Last week we added our first two corporate sponsors: United States Concealed Carry Association and Front Sight Firearms Institute.

I’d like all of you to consider joining United States Concealed Carry Association. They have a top-of-the-line magazine plus email tips and great articles to help you in your concealed carry journey through life. They are a great organization with a great radio show as well. (www.armedamericanradio.com) Check them out at www.usconcealedcarry.com.

If you need firearms training, then you should consider taking an excellent course from Front Sight near Las Vegas, Nevada. Check out their website at www.frontsight.com. Front Sight gives excellent training and you can get a great price if you purchase one of our training class certificates through the Second Amendment March online store. (http://secondamendmentmarch.americommerce.com)

I’d also like to take a moment to thank Larry Pratt from Gun Owners of America for all the help he’s given us. (www.gunowners.org) GOA is the premier no-compromise gun rights organization in America. You can join and also help out Second Amendment March in the process by going to our online store.

So, as you can see, the rock moved last week, and next week I expect it to move even further. I’ll be at the infamous SHOT show (www.shotshow.org) all next week talking to the movers and shakers of the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoors Trade industry, trying to glean even more support for the Second Amendment March. If any of you will be there and wish to meet up for coffee, just give me a call at 269-838-5586.

God bless you all and thanks again for helping me move that giant rock!

About:
The mission of the Second Amendment March is to galvanize the courage and resolve of Americans; to petition our elected officials against establishing anti-gun legislation; and to remind America that the Second Amendment is necessary to maintain our right to self defense.

Armed American Radio

Jackson, WI --(Ammoland.com)- Just hours before this Armed American Report went out I found out that Armed American Radio is adding yet MORE new stations in the first week back to work for the syndicators!

Corpus Christi, TX is now on the network at KCCT 1150 AM! KITZ in Port Orchard/Kitsap Peninsula/Puget Sound WA is now a member of the AAR network and here’s where we need YOUR help…WPNN in Pensacola Florida is airing us LIVE for THREE hours THIS Sunday 1-10-2010 at 7-10pm CST. That’s GREAT news BUT it’s a TEST.

They are looking for feedback from listeners and the ENTIRE station management team is listening in to make a decision whether to carry us LIVE and sign the affiliate contract! Here’s what we need YOU to do. If you are a listener from the Pensacola Florida area, PLEASE call the station on MONDAY 1-11-2010 at 850-433-9538 and ask for the program director. Politely THANK them for bringing AAR to your area and ask them to please keep the show! They are wanting to hear from YOU!

Last weeks show was one of the funnest we have done and I say that due to hour 3 of the round-table. Myself, Tim Schmidt, George Hill and Dr. Bruce Eimer had a plain old great time and the humor was flowing freely! Believe me, I had my finger on the “dump” switch during the entire hour, not because the conversation got rough but simply because it was 4 friends talking about whatever came to mind, laughing, cutting it up and having a great time! When that happens amongst friends it’s almost like being out together and having a beer and it’s real easy to forget you’re live in cities across the country in cars, on computers, in living rooms, garages, basements, places of business and anywhere else you may be listening to the radio! GREAT fun and GREAT conversation.

Give it a listen and I promise it’ll kind of remind you of “overhearing” a conversation at another table at the restaurant you’re eating at!

Coming up THIS week… another great lineup. Expert LEO/CCW trainer, Mike Rayburn joins me for some great advice and training tips. In addition to Mike, Luby’s Cafeteria survivor, Author and Texas State Legislator Suzanna Hupp makes her second appearance on AAR! We’ll be discussing her new book From Luby’s to the Legislature in detail! Also, Concealed Carry Magazine writer Duane Daiker chimes in this week in hour 2 and will stick around for the round-table discussion in hour 3 and you never know who else may want to get involved!

Don’t forget, Armed American Radio is on FACEBOOK. Head over and “Become a Fan” for up to the minute updates that link to us at Twitter also. Check us out at www.twitter.com/aarmark too!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Tom Gresham! See, This past Sunday, my co-author Ms. Kathy Jackson was a guest on Guntalk and she and Tom discussed our book, Lessons from Armed America for almost 15 minutes of a 30 minute segment. Tom Gresham then told his listeners that Lessons from Armed America was one of his TOP 5 books recommended for anyone carrying a concealed weapon or thinking about it!

That’s a HUGE statement from Tom Gresham when he mentions our book in the same breath as Copper, Ayoob, etc. For your own copy of Lessons from Armed America, please head over to www.whitefeatherpress.com and pick one up! It’s also available at all major book retailers online and soon in stores however they keep selling out! Not a bad thing BUT you can head over to www.whitefeatherpress.com and have one sent RIGHT away instead of waiting!

Please visit www.armedamericanradio.org for all of the latest info on upcoming shows, where to listen, and all of the latest news as it happens FAST on one of the FASTEST GROWING radio broadcasts in the United States of America!

I’ll see YOU on the radio, THIS Sunday at 8-11pm EST, 5-8pm PST! Be there!

Armed American Radio

Jackson, WI --(Ammoland.com)- The end of the year is now upon us and what a year it has been. Started on April 26, 2009 on one station, AAR is now nationally syndicated and heard LIVE in all time zones in America every Sunday evening. Growing like a weed, Armed American Radio is continuing to add cities across this great nation. Ask the fine folks up in the Motor City as Detroit was just added to the lineup on WDTK News Talk 1400 am! Corpus Christi Texas is gearing up for AAR beginning the first week of the new year! Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah come to the Armed American Radio lineup Jan. 3rd on KACP Freedom 570 am! Florida, we have tremendous interest in the Gunshine State and hope to be making an announcement there real soon. Thanks to Bill Wink Chevrolet and The Firing Line Indoor Range and Gun Shop for their sponsorship of AAR in Detroit!

The bottom line is, Armed American Radio has rapidly become the only radio program of its kind where law abiding citizens who choose to exercise their constitutional RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS can come for the talk they demand. I’m not talking about hunting here on AAR. Armed American Radio laser focuses on the things we care about as law abiding gun owners and CCW holders and I zoom right in on the anti-gunners and the freedom-haters who want to strip YOU of your constitutional rights. In fact, I put a lucky, lefty, whacko right smack in the crosshairs every week, sometimes more than one, and give the orator of the stupidest comments of the previous seven days the Bonehead of the Week Award. Believe me, the kooks who want your guns seem to outdo themselves every single day and sometimes I have to go right up to show time before the Bonehead of the Week is selected, or added to the list for the night!

If you want to hear the “other side” talk about what they refer to as the “gun debate”, you’ll have to go elsewhere…Like any major newspaper, any network “news” program, or any cable “news” station where these liars and freedom haters get all of the airtime they want See, on Armed American Radio THERE IS NO DEBATE. As far as I’m concerned, the nut cases on the other side simply need to get it through their heads that free Americans have a constitutional RIGHT to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. The constitution means what it says, it says what it means and I will NOT allow revisionist history on AAR. Nope, they will never get ONE minute of airtime on Armed American Radio. Never. The “mainstream media” has allowed these people to lie for far too long and Armed American Radio IS the fairness doctrine!

Whew…That felt good!

Over the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing the nations foremost experts in self-defense, training, gun fighting skills, avoidance and awareness techniques as well as politicians, gun rights activists, champion marksmen and women, authors and on and on. Trust me, I’ll be adding some HUGE names to the list this coming year too!

So, before I get to the “who’s coming up” part, I would like to extend a very humble and heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you who have helped make Armed American Radio one of the fastest growing radio broadcasts in America and the tremendous success that it is!

OK, here we go! AAR is LIVE this weekend. Freedom never takes a break on Armed American Radio! Coming up this week I will be putting together a little bit of a “wrap up” of some of the best guests such as Massad Ayoob and champion shooter Gail Pepin, who will either be LIVE in the studio with me or on the phone, either way they’ll both be here. In addition we’ll talk to Rob Pincus who will be back for the entire show, George Hill, the Mad Ogre, phone calls, emails and MORE as we discuss some of the best things we covered in 2009. I’ll also be rebroadcasting my interview with talk radio giant and Fox News contributor Mike Gallagher for some of our newest cities tuned into AAR. Kathy Jackson will come back for a few minutes and maybe even Tim Schmidt! I’ll give away the Bonehead of the YEAR award this week too and I haven’t yet decided who gets it so if you have a suggestion, please send it to mark@armedamericanradio.org !

Thanks again to YOU for making this year such a success here at AAR! For more information on where to listen and previous shows, visit www.armedamericanradio.org.

Armed American Radio

Jackson, WI --(Ammoland.com)- Like the Energizer Bunny, AAR keeps going and going and going! If you missed it last week, make sure to check out the podcast version at www.armedamericanradio.org. Gabe Suarez was outstanding as usual and Niki Goesser and Kathy Jackson were all over it!

Jackson, WI --(Ammoland.com)- I tell ya, the last few days have been absolutely unbelievable for Armed American Radio. In the last 4 days, we have added new cities, Troy Alabama, Aberdeen Washington, Little Rock Arkansas, a commitment from Huntsville Alabama as soon as the station goes live on the air, and two other cities that I simply can not mention just yet but it’s ALL good! We also have interest in Detroit and the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St Paul Minnesota. And guess what? AAR goes to 3 full hours this Sunday, November 22nd! You asked for it and you got it!

In addition to the continued growth of the broadcast, I had the privilege of being joined today in the AAR studio in Atlanta for a live, one on one interview with one of the giants of conservative talk radio, FOX news contributor and fellow Salem Radio Network nationally syndicated host, Mike Gallagher. Mike is in Atlanta through Saturday fighting “Obamacare” being shoved down our throats by the Socialist in Chief and was kind enough to join me for a segment that will air on the 29th. It was great to talk with him and you will definitely want to hear what he has to say about Armed American Radio!

You will also notice a great change to the Armed American Radio website. We have added some great new HD video content to the home page. The videos will give you information on past shows, upcoming guests and some plain old great information as it develops in real time. This new media rich content is just the beginning and I can promise you it will only get better and better with time. Make sure to head over to www.armedamericanradio.org to check out the new content and to stay 100% up to the minute with one of the hottest and fastest growing radio shows in America!

Coming up this week, The Master himself, Massad Ayoob makes another guest appearance to discuss anything I can toss his way for the full hour that I have his attention. In addition, David Burnette, The Midwest Regional Director of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus will be with me for the entire second hour to discuss this very hot button topic as well as a couple of other things he has up his sleeve. Great stuff.

Also, The Mad Ogre, George Hill will be with me for the entire show to chime in on the discussion as only he can and since I had the opportunity to meet with George a couple of weeks ago in Utah, George and I will be talking about one of the places we visited during my trip. During the third hour, George and I will be discussing the previous two hours and giving our thoughts, taking calls and reading listener comments live.

This is an amazing time for Armed American Radio and I can assure you all that you will want to be a part of this broadcast that will soon be bigger than Obama’s ego.

JACKSON, Wis. --(Ammoland.com)- Guns save lives, and are necessary for protection. That’s according to research from David Burnett and Clayton Cramer, who track incidents of defensive gun use at TheArmedCitizen.com.

The stories include senior citizens fighting off robbers, and women defending themselves against rapists or attackers, proving armed citizens prevent violent crimes everywhere from restaurants and grocery stores to banks, coffee houses and pizza parlors.

“We’ve documented 2,160 stories of self-defense with guns since May 2007 – the same time frame the VPC used,” said Burnett. “When it comes to concealed carry permits, we have 153 documented cases across 26 states with at least 550 lives saved.”

The Violence Policy Center (VPC) recently claimed concealed weapons licensees are killers, offering stories as proof. Burnett says the VPC is distorting the truth.

“If these victims had been disarmed, they wouldn’t be able to fight back…they’d be dead,” said Burnett. “Since no place is immune from crime, we must allow people to be armed for their own protection. Nobody wants to kill someone, but nobody wants to die either.”

Burnett also notes that in 14 percent of documented cases, no shots were fired. “You don’t always have to shoot to stop a criminal. Sometimes the threat is enough.”

According to Clayton Cramer, the numbers are tricky to measure. “If nobody dies, how do you count the lives saved? You can’t predict the future, but most of these criminals have histories of violent crime. If they hadn’t been stopped, there’s no way of telling how many would have been hurt later on.”

Both authors say the facts prove concealed carry’s net effect is positive. “States that allow concealed carry see reduced crime, if only because knowing a victim might be armed makes a criminal think twice,” says Cramer. “That unknown protects even unarmed citizens.”

Like the VPC, The Armed Citizen uses news reports to track defensive shootings, leading the authors to believe the real numbers are much higher.

“You have to look at the whole picture,” Burnett concluded. “Weigh the good with the bad. A gun in the hands of a responsible citizen can and often does save a life. If the Violence Policy Center wants to compare numbers, concealed carry wins.”

The United States Concealed Carry Association is the ultimate concealed-carry resource, with a goal of stopping 5,000 crimes and saving 250 lives by December 31st, 2011. Join the mission at www.USConcealedCarry.com.
