                                  Goals and Beliefs                                     

• It is my personal goal to assist as many eligible persons as possible to obtain their concealed handgun license. I sincerely believe in the CHL program and what it stands for.

• People should have a right to protect themselves or a loved one with whatever means necessary to prevent any act of  violence that is attempted or committed against them.

• There is a direct correlation of "Right to Carry" states and reduced crime statistics, while states with more restrictive gun policies are seeing a crime rate increase.

• Guns do not kill people. People kill people. If someone insists that guns do kill people , they would also have to believe that pencils misspell words.

• The main causes of gun accidents are ignorance and carelessness. Through education/training , and safe storage practices , which equals responsible gun ownership , we can greatly reduce these tragic occurrences.
