I have been a Sheriff's Deputy for 13 years. Statistic prove that law abiding, concealed permit holders are not the problem in the community. In my opinion, the more people with the ability to protect themselves, the better. Do we really want a firearms free area that only criminals will carry  firearms in? Many of the nations worst firearms offenses would have ended with fewer lives taken had they not occurred in gun free zones.

Thank you for your time in this matter,

Sgt Clifford J Martin Jr
