Here in Knoxville, TN we had several gruesome murders within about five miles of where I live, including one of an assistant manager of a Radio Shack that was just next door to a Chinese restaurant I'd often gone to. Those murders were more than enough convincing for me to get a carry permit and start packing heat. I've had the permit now for over ten years and continue to pack. If you and your wife don't have permits and aren't packing, you ought to get them and start packing.
Well, I’m convinced - I’m going to get that PT-99, and get my permit.
