GOP Presidential front runner Donald Trump says the 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States have an obligation to carry, “but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America.”

In a statement on concealed carry responsibility released exclusively to Breitbart News Trump says:

There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of the 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to “keep and bear arms.” This fundamental liberty is held closest by those who have gone through the process of vetting required to be entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property with concealed weapons.

The concept of concealed carry is as much intended to deter criminal activity as it is to provide direct defense of those who have those permits. Not all concealed carry permit holders “carry” all the time. Thus, the deterrent value is that those who might contemplate criminal behavior will think twice when that doubt exists.
Carrying a weapon is not always feasible or appropriate. However, given the increased tensions that are the result of continued, escalating terrorism around the world, more legitimately armed individuals on the streets is a positive outcome.

Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry. I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same. Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is “yes,” but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America. Deterring violence is far better than dealing with the aftermath of an act of terror. Less blood, more security. That is what will make America great again.
On Saturday, Breitbart News reported that Nashville talk radio show host Ralph Bristolsaid “concealed carry permit holders have a duty to be armed” in light of the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.

Bristol’s statement came in Lebanon, Tennessee during the fifth stop of his “Second Amendment is Homeland Security” tour.

I was there. That remark drew sustained applause, as did several others he made.

I'm sure many people consider Donald Trump to be a loose cannon, but much of what the man says NEEDS to be said. I am less afraid of the Islamic terrorists than I am of the fools who believe in "peace and love". All men are NOT brothers. Some are implacable enemies of anyone who is "not like them", and cannot be won over by reason, brotherly love, or any other form of decency.

Glad to hear "the Donald's" view on the subject.

and evil mankind must be resisted. Resistance requires force. Evil must be met with force. Anything else is acquiescence. To submit to evil is to accept evil. To accept evil is to be evil.
