YES, to the petition.
If someone is uncomfortable carrying a handgun for protection and won't do it, that is their CHOICE and their own business.
In my endeavors to not be a victim, one of the most important steps is my personal CHOICE to carry a handgun.
Don't continue to support a law that maintains gun-free zones that allow violent criminals a place to canvas for victims. The suffering of even one preventable victim is one too many.
When being a victim can be so simply mitigated, there really is no choice other than to allow law abiding citizens the CHOICE to carry.
