Breda Says Take A Woman You Love And Teach Her How To Shoot

I'll let Breda tell the story, but this is yet another example of why law abiding people should be legally permitted to carry a self defense sidearm in public parks. As of late 2006, we can in Ohio.

Some big city politicians (including my own mayor here in Columbus) are fighting the general law that finally puts women walking in a park with their kids on an even playing field with the two-legged predators who prey on innocents.

I don't know whether she would have carried, but Chevonne's story is a lesson to remember. To Cleveland Mayor Jackson, I would suggest that you look to this tragedy and remember the lesson as you vainly attempt to convince the courts to overturn the state firearms pre-emption law.

Moreover, this horrible event -- and its even sadder outcome -- is a lesson in why everyone should be taught how to shoot defensively.
