Good article and the reason why I carry

This blog article is one worth reading.

It was written by Nikki Goeser. Mrs. Goeser and her husband were leaving a restaurant a few years ago. They were assaulted and her husband was killed. She was a HCP holder, but because of Tennessee's asinine state law, she was not allowed to bring her gun with her into the restaurant, because the place served alcohol.

Consequently, she did not have the gun with her as she left. She was unable to prevent her husband from being killed in the attack.

This is the reason for restaurant carry - to protect ourselves entering and leaving the establishment. I even agree with the anti-gun crowd that an assault inside the restaurant is highly unlikely. But nobody in their right mind can disagree with the facts of what happened to Mrs. Goeser. And what if that unlikely event happens? Having an equalizer sure would be nice, huh?

Folks thought I was crazy several years ago when I said I wanted a house on a hill so it wouldn't flood. Now they think I was prophetic.

The same principles apply here, too!
