I find those who claim they will "shoot to kill without hesitation" especially worrying. We live in a congested community. Is it safe to have people carrying loaded weapons and are willing to fire them when they deem it necessary?

Taking a human life is not to be taken lightly. Taking the life of an innocent person or bystander is unthinkable.

I ask those who carry a loaded weapon to leave law enforcement up to the police. If you perceive someone is going to hurt you, or you perceive someone is going to hurt someone in an altercation, or you think you are seeing a crime being committed, reach for your cell phone, not your weapon. Better yet, leave the weapon at home.

Gracie got it right: "Don't shoot us".
Remember if faced with a situation where you percieve someone is going to harm you the police are only minutes away.

Then you will pray that an armed citizen might be there within seconds to help you
