Not just Veteran's. Every single American has the Right to Defend themselves against Harm. The second someone brings any kind or type weapon along that's when the use of Deadly Force should immediately be used. As for the Gun Grabbers their immediate response is always but there needs to be more training and stricter laws. News Flash you Mental Midgets a Criminal doesn't care about Laws and the harder you make it for the Law Abiding Citizen to possess or carry a firearm the easier time the Criminal has. Case in point. Back quite a few years ago a man named Bernard Getz was minding his own business on the subway. Just after they pulled away from the station 12 kids started to taunt him with crowbars and sharpened screwdrivers. They told him they were going to rob him and cut him as well as beat him. So good Ole Bernie pulled his gun and started shooting them. He killed 2 or 3 and maimed a few others plus hitting several other's with bullets but not causing severe injuries. Well Ole Bernie fled and for over 20 days the NYC Subway System was virtually crime free because the Criminal didn't know who else might be packing heat. Bernie finally turned himself in somewhere in Connecticut and within 1 hour Crime was back in the Subway System. Statistics Prove that everyone a Law Abiding Citizen can easily obtain a CCL or Concealed Carry License the crime rate is way less than half of the areas where its pretty much impossible to get a CCL. We all know the Blue run Cities are the worst for crime and the reason is because the Liberal Democrat doesn't believe anyone should carry a Gun except the police who they are trying to get rid of. I'm a Disabled Veteran and my Gun is never further then 1 foot away from wherever I happen to be sitting or laying down
