How a Military VET's Shocking Email
Changed Our Perspective...

I truly hope this message is sent to Tim Schmidt! You are doing a wonderful job of informing the general public of the liabilities, consequences and responsibilities of carrying a concealed firearm and the laws regarding our criminal and/or civil engagement! But one important thing that is not covered by your fine organization very often is the true meaning of "I shot to Stop" vs. "I shot to Kill." As a VET, I can say that there is a clear distinction. Let it not be said of anyone, "When you or your loved ones were in harms way, you shot to stop and/or kill your attacker without regard!" It is immediate and irrevocable. It's also something you will have to live with the rest of your life! I pose this question: Are you really preparing your subscribers for the harsh reality of taking someone's life and all the consequences that come with it? Ask a VET! We will end the myths of stopping power by the weapon we carried. We will tell you that a well-placed shot is as important as the caliber of the gun you carry and how many rounds are in the magazine. But more importantly, we will tell you of the inevitable question of the impact of stopping someone from potentially inflicting harm or killing them as it is in the mind of a single trooper. The military trains us that the only way an assailant is truly STOPPED is through immediate death. My request is simple: All I ask is that you thoroughly, compassionately and emotionally listen to our men and women who have served this great nation so graciously and without hesitation. Best regards, Tim. And a SPECIAL THANK YOU to all of the past and active service men and women whom have given with such sacrifice and loyalty! Love you all, Dave Wow. To say that I was touched by this email is an understatement. Not only am I grateful for Dave's courageous service to our nation, but I am also grateful for his willingness to challenge me in such a powerful way. The reality is that he had a lot of good things to say, and I feel challenged in a profound way to follow through on his suggestions. One of the great things about this is that there are actually a handful of people that work here at the USCCA who are either active or retired military personnel. As such, I am going to take Dave's suggestions seriously and begin to take advantage of their knowledge and experiences. I'm going to reach out to others in our community who have just as much to offer in terms of knowledge and experience. It is our mission to educate, train, equip and insure responsibly armed Americans, and this email from Dave was yet another reminder to me of how important it is to continue to carry on our mission with more focus than ever before. Take Care and Stay Safe,
Tim Schmidt |
