[Riposte1]

We actually had help in passing our state CCDW permit law from a lady who was a survivor of a mass murder in which 14 people were killed. She put the responsibility for this squarely where it belonged - one the state for prohibiting concealed carry and on the policy of the company who prohibitted the possession of weapons.

We also received help from Susan G. Hupp who's parrents were killed in Luby's in Killeen Tx. who testified the same thing.

The sad thing is that both of these ladies had firearms nearby (but due to fear of breaking the law , and in the former case being fired, did not have them handy). The lady from our state was shot 4 times with an AK clone...at that point she decided company policy be damned and she went and got her gun but, unfortunately, she did not meet the villian again. She did meet a responding police officer and had the presence of mind not to shoot him - he let her keep the gun and told here to shoot the guy if she saw him again. She was a plucky gal for being shot through the lung with a rifle (3 of the rounds were low and did not inconvience her much though eventually it affected her walking ability)!

Riposte.
