"A sidearm is, next to our brain, the most potent life-saving weapon we carry and an integral part of our uniform. Leaving a sidearm in the restroom is akin to forgetting to put on clothes before coming to work."

Sadly, his friend grew up with guns, went to the shooting range all the time and had just taken the NRA safety course and his friend still took his father’s loaded unsecured gun, raised it up and shot my son in the head. And don’t worry I blame myself everyday it was my job to protect Ethan and I failed. You don’t need to pile on. I hope and pray you don’t ever have to bury a child. Merry Christmas.
