I hope the government types in this country read how dangerous it really is out there, and that they figure out that making it more difficult for the average good citizen, and security guard, to be able to obtain, and carry a weapon with them, does not protect the public, but just offers them up to the criminal element at little thought by the criminal they can be stopped.
