[TheUnknownDC]

The article describes Chuck de Caro as a former Special Forces officer and military expert. If this is true, guess the robber picked the wrong person to tangle with

Quick and the dead...F him. Hope de Caro recovers fully.

“The discussion over the debate to own a gun is just ridiculous. As Americans we have the right to bear arms and as humans the right to protect ourselves. I’m sure that the man who shot my husband did not have a gun permit. Criminals will always have guns. The rest of us legally obtain our gun permits.”

Russell and de Caro have been long time advocates for carrying guns legally. The author of “Hell on Heels” explains the decision should be an individual one, and those who do not want to carry should not weigh in on the gun control conversation.

“If you don’t want to carry please don’t. Then, shut the f--k up about it. Make your own decisions. “

She still advocates a "permit" system. A right from God can not be secondered to the government.

I agree with your second sentence. However, I don't think she's advocating anything, but rather contrasting what folks do vs. the reality of criminals obtaining a gun if they want one even in the presence of man-made laws.

From the article

"She adds that the government should stop arguing about gun control and pass a law that states, “If you committed a violent crime you can’t get a gun permit. Simple law.”

Now she could be using the path of least resistance and judging that this is not the time to grind a new axe, a likely scenario. But she may also believe in "reasonable restrictions" type, also plausible.

Yes, it's hard to tell on that one, in the aftermath of what she may be feeling. If she doesn't fully understand that laws already exist, and that human behavior can't be legislated by statutes or signs on a building, then her level of understanding is in company with a great deal of the world.
