The Myth of "Gun Free Zones"


Imagine, for a moment, that you are with your loved one going to dinner at a restaurant. You've been a concealed carry advocate for decades and you've gone through the process of legally getting your permit which allows you to protect yourself if someone else threatens your life; which is the whole point of concealed carry.

When you get to the door of the restaurant, you see a sign informing you that inside the establishment it is a "Gun Free Zone". So, being a law abiding individual, you go back to your vehicle and leave your weapon locked in it. Returning to the door, your loved one's smile reminds you of why you love him/her so much, and you enter and sit down to enjoy time and a meal together.

A while passes and suddenly a man steps up, pulls out a gun, and shoots your loved one, point blank, seven times and kills them.

It's time to ask a few key questions: What purpose do "Gun Free Zones" serve for the public? Do they save lives, or do they more actually end them?

This scenario actually happened to Nikki Goeser in Tennessee years ago and shared this tragic experience in this interview with Tucker Carlson recently.

Having worked in a "Gun Free Zone", I count my blessings that a shooting didn't occur at my school. But the longer I live and hear about such situations like Nikki's, I realize that these zones are nothing more than the left's twisted anti-protection ideology being imposed on others who view life differently than they do; an indirect infringement on our Second Amendment rights.

For a second, in order to put this point into a more clear perspective, let's imagine that the rolls were reversed. Liberals, by federal laws imposed by conservatives, are required to wear a t-shirt anywhere they go in public which says in large letters on the front and back, "I'm unarmed, and a defenseless target!" while conservatives who have concealed carry permits are free to carry wherever they please... allowed to protect their life if ever the circumstance presents itself.

Of course, such a thing would ever happen, but it makes the point and there's no need to explain it anything further.
