I'm overdue for a trip to my local Cabela's and I think this is just the motivator I need to get my butt down there.
The Blaze interviewed the founder and operator of Shoot Like A Girl during the NRA Convention last weekend. Chief Operations Officer Cristy Crawford and Founder/President Karen Butler answered a series of questions about gun rights. When asked how they felt about conceal-carry on-campus, these ladies actually laughed a little before answering. From the article –
“You’re taking personal responsibility for your own safety,” Crawford said, referring specifically to her position on concealed carry on college campuses. “College campuses do everything that they can…but they can’t be everywhere. So, when you say that someone who has gone through the training, gone above and beyond to be proficient with their firearm, saying they can’t take personal responsibility for their own safety is wrong. That’s essentially leaving people defenseless.”When asked if banning gun on college campuses will prevent criminals from carrying firearms on campuses, Crawford and Butler both immediately laughed.“Does having guns banned in Chicago help? Or New York City?” Butler asked. “It’s the most ridiculous argument that you can hear. People that are opposed to guns have no understanding what a capable, responsible gun owner is capable of. And the statistics do not lie. Criminals are criminals. They are not going to follow any laws.”Butler said she’s “disappointed” that gun laws aren’t focusing on targeting criminals and holding them accountable for their actions, rather than passing laws that impact law-abiding gun owners.
I've got nothing more to say to that than "Amen, Sisters!"
And, just for fun, here's video of the Shoot Like a Girl exhibit at the NRA Convention – sounds like this is going to be in several Cabela's stores soon (if it isn't already) and I soooooo want to try it out!
