This doesn’t surprise me a whole lot. I’m married to a commercial airline pilot who never owned a gun until after 9/11 when the federal government began training to fill our skies with what I like to call “gun totin’ pilots”.
We have become a society that is afraid not to be armed. The NRA must be very proud.
