Speak Softly . . by L.B. Johnson

Several years back, not long after I got my first Concealed Carry Certificate I made my first long road trip in my truck with my 1911 in a holster on my hip. I carry because I'm often a woman traveling alone in dark places and because I support the Second Amendment.   I support the Second Amendment as it supports what our country was founded on, the means in which we can protect and defend.

The Times They Are a Changin’
