I know as many liberal's with concealed carry permits as conservative's. The right of gun ownership transcends party lines, however, to some it's a banner to waive with the ill-conceived belief that restricting, curtailing, or prohibiting ownership will somehow end the senseless violence. Face it as one of my liberal friends likes to point out his only defense is a gun, waiting for the thin line of law enforcement to arrive is a deadly proposition. It's a dangerous world and unless your prepared you are nothing more then a soft target ripe for the picking.
