My son and his wife returned to their apartment in Galveston last night and were approached by a man asking for money. When they told him they didn't have any cash he demanded wallets. My son drew his pistol which apparently caused a sudden change of heart and the scum bolted.



I was thinking today how much different our lives would be right now if my son had not been armed. If he hadn't had his LTC. If we hadn't spent so much time at the range building skills and confidence. If we hadn't shot all those IDPA matches together.



Instead of spending time enjoying our family today we might have been making funeral arrangements.



Teach your kids to shoot and that includes your daughters. Raise them right. Encourage them to be ready to defend themselves. It may just save their lives.
