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.
