I sit here tonight watching Rudolf with my mom, my oldest daughter and the pups.  As I tried to hold it together tonight and tried to explain to Madison that she may hear some very sad news over the next few days, I just wanted to hold her that much tighter.  Today, the lives of innocent children were taken by a child himself.  We may never understand why, we will never forget this day.  I pray for all the families affected, including those of the shooter.  No matter what, they lost a son, brother, grandchild and will always have to remember the pain he caused.

Over the next few months we will hear stricter gun laws, bashing of the NRA, and the such.. I am a proud woman to support the Second Amendment.  I got my CWP this year.  I plan to purchase a smaller pistol and holster to carry it on my person.. Yes, I have two small children.  I will do what I have to do to keep them safe.  Will I risk their lives to do it? No.  But I will defend myself.  Like my instructor told us.  If you see a sign that says no concealed weapons.  Take your business elsewhere.  I believe if that movie theater would have allowed C W's then someone may have been able to stop that shooter.

Just some thoughts.  back to Rudolf.  Sad day and long time healing to come for not only those families in connecticut, but for our nation.
