Sheep in a Pen

Yesterday, a shot was fired near the Dartmouth College campus, in Hanover, NH.

It pains me to think of students (or anyone), sheltering in place, waiting in the dark, wondering what is going on – no sense of the moment or control over their destiny or fate. I picture a pen of lambs and sheep, waiting for the shepherd to come and let them out once the fox or coyote has been taken care of, instead of being able to defend themselves and assert their own destiny into the situation.

I have 2 kids in college and I would prefer they be able to defend themselves if something did happen, cutting through all this helpless drama we create in gun-free zones.  I didn’t raise them to be helpless victims of evil – which can make its presence known anytime, anywhere, regardless of the “sensible” gun laws put in place by Democrats and Leftists.

This is what too much government and, as a result, gun control, get you.  Don’t EVER let government deny you your natural right of self defense and preservation.
