- My letter to the House of Representatives -
Dear Representative ,
In addition to supporting an end to “gun free” zones please author legislation allowing US service members to carry, for self-defense and the defense of others, personal concealed handguns while in uniform.
It is preposterous, in this era of active shootings and terrorism, our uniformed service personnel have no means of defending themselves or others at the outset of a “Ft. Hood” or Paris-style terrorist attack.
America must abandon the “not here” mentality. Combined with the already present threats from violent criminals and active shooters, western society is in a multi-generational, asymmetrical war with militant Islam.
All able Americans, civilian and military, should be legally permitted to respond when our people and homeland are attacked. At least the US government should not mandate defenselessness and allow service members who wish to be armed to so be. Those intent on committing acts of evil will always be armed and violent despite the rules.
Sincerely,
David Gallion
