A Daughter's Regret:

Suzanna Gratia Hupp will live the rest of her life with regret. Had she been carrying her gun the day a madman executed her parents while she cowered helplessly and then fled, she is convinced she could have stopped one of the worst massacres in U.S. history.

It was October 1991 when an unemployed merchant seaman drove his pickup truck into a Luby's cafeteria in Killeen, Tex., leaped out and opened fire. He killed 23 people and wounded more than 20.

Suzanna and her parents were having lunch in the restaurant when the shooting started. Hupp instinctively reached into her purse for her .38-caliber Smith & Wesson, but she had left it in the car.

Her father tried to rush the gunman and was shot in the chest. As the gunman reloaded, Hupp escaped through a broken window, thinking her mother was behind her.

”I'd like people to think about what happened to me, and try to place themselves in that situation", Hupp said - between a string of interviews in which she relived the tragedy, as Exhibit A in her argument, against restrictive gun laws.

Now; instead of thinking of their parents, have it be their children.

Even if you choose not to have a gun, as the bad guy who ignored all the laws is getting close to you, and as he levels that firearm at one of your children, don't you hope the person next to you has chosen to carry a gun and knows how to use it?
