Donald Trump came out in favor of armed defense of the individual and the Country on Wednesday, 18 November, 2015. In an exclusive to Brietbart.com, Donald Trump has called for Americans to bear arms to increase the security of the United States. From Brietbart.com:
There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of the 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to "keep and bear arms." This fundamental liberty is held closest by those who have gone through the process of vetting required to be entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property with concealed weapons.

Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry. I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same. Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is "yes," but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America.
This is not much of a surprise; Trump has championed the Second Amendment in speeches and in his proposed policies for years. This confounds political correctness, which makes the claim attempting to defend oneself or one’s country is a fools errand that is only engaged in by those who believe in outdated ideologies, such as patriotism or Christianity. President Obama's characterization of people who cling to their Bibles and their guns is “progressive†shorthand for such a view.
