Why I intend to carry a handgun

The weapon was light in my hands, not at all how I imagined a 9mm Glock would feel.

I had never fired a gun in my life. My instructor put both my hands around the frame and then signaled for me to squeeze the trigger.

Blam.

The bullet pierced my target, an 8.5-by-11-inch sheet of copy paper, near the center.

Then it hit me. This is how it is done. This is how you take a life. My target was fictional, but in my mind he was still a threat. I felt no sadness.

That's why soon I'll be the first person in my immediate family and circle of friends to get a concealed weapons permit.

Very good article, and couldn't have been at a better time - Thanks, Tunnel Rat :D (I'm trying to convince a friend why she should carry, this will, I hope, help.)
