I have great respect and adoration for financial guru, Suze Orman. She is an intelligent, financially brilliant and witty lady (If she's anti gun, please don't tell me!)

Certainly Buckeye Firearms Association hasn't gone into the financial planning business now, have they? Of course not! But please bear with me in my ramblings.

Suze explains "courage is the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action." Wait a minute! In my pro gun mind, Suze can't be talking about financial stuff! She must be confused and instead is talking about self defense! These are the type of words I would say to my students as I instruct them in my concealed carry classes.

In fact, if you listen to the Brady Bunch version, you might believe other states are handing out a “License to Kill (or “License to Shoot First,” depending upon which spin master you are talking to.)

The first part of this series will examine the changes this bill makes with regard to self-defense in your own home. The second part, to be published later, will deal with changes in self-defense outside the home.
