Protect people: ban gun-free zones
The terrorists read the sign on the wall at the Crossroads Mall: “Gun Free Zone, No Firearms or Illegal Weapons Allowed." Well, I guess they did not obey the sign and went on a rampage believing nobody would have a gun, giving them the advantage.
It is time for all law-abiding citizens willing to get trained in the use of a firearm and take a class in close-quarters combat with a firearm then take the concealed-weapons class so you can carry a gun legally.
First, buy a gun that fits you and become comfortable with it, train with it and know you can use it efficiently.
Time for gun-free zones to be done away with because they are nothing but a killing zone for the bad guys.
I do not pay attention to these ridiculous signs anyway. I am willing to protect myself, my family, my friends and a law enforcement officer no matter where it might be.
So, prepare yourself and be ready for the worst and pray for the best. Vote for the person that will put America first, Trump.
