“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Surging Concealed Carry: The American Response To Paris Terror Attacks

A large part of the American response to the Paris terror attacks is a surge in concealed carry, with a greater-than 100 percent jump in permit applications in some places.

Breitbart News previously reported that sign-ups for concealed carry classes at San Antonio’s Texas Guns “doubled” following the Paris attacks and permit applications in Limestone County, Alabama, saw their “biggest spike” following the attacks as well.

Now there is Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where Police One reports that permit applications for one day increased by more than 100 percent on Monday, November 16. The Allegheny Sheriff’s Office described the days after the Paris attacks as those in which “the line [for concealed carry permit applications] will go clear out the door [and] wrap around to the courtyard.” The sheriff’s office estimated the number of phone calls relating to concealed carry “]quadrupled]” in the attack aftermath.
