Gun Violence

I just got my concealed carry permit for Idaho and I'm working on picking out a nice holster to carry my gun with me at all times. I'm thinking either an under the belt holster for when I wear jeans or if I'm wearing a long skirt to church perhaps an ankle holster. Will it be kind of uncomfortable at first? Probably. But just till I get used to it and I was just thinking about how naive I am and have been and how naive I secretly think I, and many others want to be. Yes there are bad evil people in the world. And there are also sick people in the world who do bad things and Satan is very prevalent around us. Things like Sandy Hook are rare, thankfully, which is why they shock people as much as they do...if they happened as often as politicians would like you to think then we wouldn't all be as shocked by them anymore. But that doesn't mean they don't or won't happen more frequently in the future and if someone brings a gun somewhere I am and starts shooting or threatening to shoot I refuse to be helpless and stand by and watch as innocent lives are taken or as my own is taken. I refuse to stand by idly as a robber enters my home and perhaps goes after my son or husband. I am choosing to not be innocent and naive anymore. I am choosing to be prepared just in case. Besides carrying at all times I am also trying to get back into shape again and thinking about taking some kind of karate or self-defense class so I can learn how to fight someone off if need be. I believe, especially working where I do now, that civilians shouldn't necessarily use violence to defend themselves against bad people. I believe this can and often does lead to injuries and death in many cases. I believe if possible we should allow the police to handle situations like these. However, I also know, sometimes police can't get there in time...and in that case...I'd rather lose my own life and save someone else then stand by and watch as lives are taken in front of me. So...that's my say on why I'm going to be carrying a gun from now on. I look at the police I work with as heroes and I want to be more like that. I don't want to be an innocent naive civilian...I want to be a protector and defender of the innocents from the evil and bad in the world. Isn't that really what Jesus wanted for us? Not just to stand by and be all lovey dovey but to fight with all we have against the evil until we get to heaven and finally receive eternal rest.
