To the man I sat next to on the train: I am the gun owner you hate.

"Opinions and ideologies make a pretty thin shield against the bullets of a madman. Your liberal self-righteousness and ignorance may have made you feel superior and comfortable, but during that 40-minute train ride to Boston, my gun kept you safe."

When there are concealed-carry citizens carrying pistols on a train to Boston, you KNOW the gun-grabbers have lost.

I kinda searched but not enough I guess. Worth repeating. Hopefully it will go viral on social media...it should.

A “Title” search with the FR search function using “To the man I sat next to on the train” reveals the previous thread.

Most comments at that site are completely idiotic.

The illiberal “liberal” is reading his/her selfishness unto the honest armed private citizen, who ironically is less likely per capita to do something wrong with his weapon than is a police officer (among other reasons, because he is not shielded from serious consequences of foolishness like the officer so often is — but also because he actually is very likely a generous, chivalrous, and heroic chap).

They were raised rich and ignorant.. told they could have it all and that there would be nothing to stop them... they believe this.. and you are the one who they are afraid of.

Just imagine a United States where the citizens had no guns.. none. There’d be no killing anywhere.. everyone would be happy and safe.. THAT’s what they believe! Ignorance is not bliss.. it’s dangerous!!

To some FReepers, accidentally posting an article that has been previously posted should be a felony.

One would think Boston would have learned something about bad guys.

Yea I noticed how quickly people in Boston allowed themselves to be removed from their homes at the point of a gun while being yelled at like criminals when they were looking for the jihadist. He was finally found by a lone private citizen that went outside his home to smoke.
