So, I wrote a “Letter to the Editor” of the National Human Resources Organization that I belong to, the “Society For Human Resources Management” (SHRM), in response to some anti gun article that was run a few months ago. I think the larger an organization gets, the more political and left-leaning they become. Since several months had passed, I figured they wouldn’t publish my response – which wouldn’t have surprised me. Mine wasn’t the only counter-letter published either, which I was very happy to see.
Anyway, here’s what I wrote, I think you’ll be able to figure out the context of what their article was from the context of my reply:
Laura Rhoad's comment in "Weapons Policies Under Fire" (September) requires a response. Rhoad says, "If your car breaks down or you're in trouble, use your cell phone, not your gun." Right.
It will go down something like this: "Excuse me, Mr. armed rapist or murderer, could you please not rape or murder me for 15 minutes or so? You see, I need to use my cell phone here and call someone for help. Would that be OK?"
Or does Rhoad propose using your cell phone as a weapon? "You better not come any closer, because I'm prepared to defend myself with this very dangerous Motorola!"
