Many of us conceal-carrying Newtown'ers have no choice but to obey the current law and leave our weapons at home when escorting our children to school - in what used to be a very peaceful and rare slice of old fashioned Americana. We hope to change that, and could use all the support (not negativity) we can get.
I too am a Newtown parent. Although I am don’t own a gun, I was furious at how quickly this tragedy was turned into an opportunity to vilify gun rights and gun owners. On Friday, I joined the NRA in a show of solidarity with all law-abiding gun owners.
