Our right to bear arms is not just a privilege; it’s a fundamental right that sets the United States apart. The Second Amendment wasn’t put in place for decoration; it’s there to protect our freedoms, our families, and our way of life. And if you’re a good, law-abiding citizen, it’s important to step up and embrace that right. The Second Amendment is not just about protecting ourselves from tyranny, it’s also about protecting our families, our homes, and our communities.

Good People Who Carry

If good people don’t take advantage of their right to bear arms, the only ones left with guns will be the criminals. They will always find ways to get weapons, but when good people are armed, it levels the playing field, and it also serves as a deterrent. If criminals know that there’s a strong chance their next would-be victim could be carrying, they’re going to think twice. It’s common sense. We can’t rely on law enforcement to always be there the second something goes down. Most of the time, they show up after the fact. We are our own first line of defense.

A Right and a Responsibility

We live in a world where bad things happen, and unfortunately, there are people out there who don’t care about laws or human life. That’s why responsible gun ownership is not just a right, it’s a responsibility. An armed society is where citizens take charge of their own safety and the safety of others. As responsible gun owners, the Intuitive Self Protection team believes in being prepared. Just like we train our bodies through fitness to stay strong and healthy, we train with our firearms to be ready to defend ourselves and our loved ones if the need ever arises. Some people think that owning a gun is reckless, but I couldn’t disagree more. It promotes responsibility. With that ownership comes the duty to train, stay educated on gun safety, and practice good judgment. A firearm in the hands of a trained, responsible citizen can mean the difference between life and death. You don’t just buy a gun and call it a day; you learn how to handle it in various scenarios and respect the power it holds. As we always say, “You are responsible for every round that comes from your firearm.”

Conclusion

The right to bear arms boils down to personal protection, safeguarding our communities and upholding the values that make us free. Responsible gun ownership includes discipline, training, and respect for the power of a firearm. As law-abiding citizens, it’s our duty to be prepared and take ownership of our safety. Intuitive Self Protection offer a series of pistol, rifle, empty-hand, and edged weapon courses. We also just added a Night Vision Rifle Intro Course.
