At the request of my wife's rabbi, I recruited a friend who served as a Force Recon Marine. We strapped on armor and pistols to patrol the crowd at the menorah lighting in Sedona, Arizona. Members of the congregation carried concealed weapons of their own.

I can’t imagine bragging about this!

Nothing happened…

In Sedona, Arizona? No way. I’m sure it was you tough boys that scared them away, and not that you didn’t need to carry them in the first place. Gun nuts are seriously braindead.
