I agree 200% with these statements. I think at some point it would be good to let her know who we are, but I trust Dan to know when it's best to reveal it.

There are lots of people who are 'pro-gun', yet for one reason or another choose not to own or carry themselves, and I have no problem with that at all.

I think the bigger point is that yet again we have shown that we are not a bunch of paranoid freaks. We are normal everyday folks who truly care about the way our society is headed; and, will help those in need when we become aware of the need. If it turns out that part of that help includes information on the purchase and safe use of a firearm, so be it. If it doesn't, we still filled a need and that won't soon be forgotten.
