I’m not looking for personal opinions. It’s either you do it or you don’t. If you are friends with me, you should be aware of my sentiments regarding Veterans so I am bringing it up. I am fairly confident that I already know two individuals who will assist, but I am hopeful that I will receive more responses, as this is a pressing concern. Twenty-two Veterans succumb to their struggles daily. May I request that two friends or family members copy and repost this message? Someone's life may depend on it. ❤️‍🩹

I totally believe in the right to bear arms as stated in the 2nd amendment. I also understand the need to follow the laws of the state of CA however misguided they are. We operate under the guidance of the SD County sheriff’s department and state and federal law. I have a problem with those laws. I have to decide if a person is safe and competent to carry a concealed fi***rm in a public place . 99% of the time that is an easy decision. If you are a reasonably physically and mentally competent person , I have no problem failing you for being an unsafe as***le. When I have an elderly person whose physical skills are degraded, he can’t meet the shooting qualification but he can handle his weapon safely. Why would I deny a person who is obviously only capable of defending himself or her self from a violent attacker by having lethal force available to them a permit. Obviously ther is a right versus public safety issue. But in my mind making an arbitrary you must be able to place so many rounds I. A target at certain distances is not a way to decide if somebody should have a permit to carry. Let me know what you think. This is not a click bait post I want serious thoughts on this.
