Default I carry and I feel better for it

My ex shot me with a .38 and I spent 6 months in the hospital. He backed me in a corner. I was only 20 years old and lucky to be alive. Since then I have become very familiar with guns and have much respect for them. I am not afraid or cowering in a corner.

While living in Orlando and working for Pizza Hut, I was violently robbed twice. One gunman cocked the revolver back as it was pointed to my head. Since then I have gotten my CWL. I will not be a victim any longer. The bad people are out there, especially during the holidays. I remember what my boss told us at Pizza Hut, "Watch your back. Robbers have kids that need presents, too".

My hubby and I have several guns in our home, ready to go. I will not flash my gun to get a parking spot but if you jump me, I feel better being able to protect myself.

We both got our licenses at the gun range on State Road 44. They have classes there, usually monthly.
