Why Carry?

The decision to carry a concealed firearm is yours to make, and no one else's.  There is much responsibility that comes with this right, and we believe each person has to make their own decision in doing so.  Additionally, we believe so many Illinois residents are obtaining their Utah CCW permit at record levels, it is sending a clear message to the State of Illinois to do the same!  Get yours soon!

We also believe firmly in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which says:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Perhaps the reason we believe trained, law abiding citizens should be able to legally carry a concealed firearm is to simply read a few of the below excerpts:

"I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed."

"I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place."

"I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world."

"I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world."

"I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government."

"I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate."

"I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me."
