In our Iowa county, the sheriff doesn’t like issuing CCW. My husband has a Florida non resident permit but can’t carry here because the sheriff basically only gives them if you say you regularly carry more than $500 cash, and the permit is only valid in such cases. Which is total garbage.

If this gets passed my husband and I will both get permits.

Note to idiot sheriff: you don’t need a CCW license at home. CCW does NOTHING for an abusive spouse who is going to use a gun on his wife.

“’CCW does NOTHING for an abusive spouse who is going to use a gun on his wife.”

yeah but it sounds good and almost guarantees any man is not going to argue. Socialists rarely let anything like facts or reality effect their mindset.

I don’t carry a gun…

… to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun
because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun
because there are real threats in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun
because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun
because I understand the limitations of government.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to
spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to
die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun
because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun
because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun
because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun
because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

“Police Protection” is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate
the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.


Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin’.
