Suzanna Hupp, a chiropractor from Copperas Cove, Texas, often carried a pistol in her purse for protection, especially when working late. On October 16, 1991, while having lunch with her parents at Luby’s Cafeteria in Killeen, she left her pistol in her car at her mother’s suggestion. Tragically, a deranged man crashed his truck through the restaurant’s windows and opened fire, killing 23 people, including Hupp’s parents, before taking his own life. With her gun left in the car, Hupp was defenseless, later saying it might have given her a chance to act. I refuse to be in her position. I carry whenever and wherever I can. There are many reasons to conceal carry daily, but here are my top five reasons for doing so.
