"I am sensitive to that, and we will work around the clock to get this accomplished."
Local, state an federal agencies are on scene and prepared to comb through every detail of this incident.
Simple trips to the grocery store can, sadly, be deadly. As a concealed carry website, we know this and teach daily, so that people can better prepare themselves for day to day life. While coming into contact with a gunman is rare, it does happen and can happen quickly. These incidents remind us of our duty to help citizens become armed, trained and prepared to defend themselves against evil.
