The guest speakers have been very warmly welcomed and appreciated. The hall was completely packed for our self-defense presentation, and we plan on making adjustments to next year's fashion show to allow for a greater variety of outfits.

We had a spectacular turnout this year, far better than we could ever have imagined. We've had a very steady attendance all day long.

We do have a good defense, and that's going to be the key to winning this game. Amanda Haynes is one of the best offensive players in state, but if my defense shows up, we have a shot.

We know from Census Bureau surveys that something beyond a hundred thousand uses of guns for self-defense occur every year. We know from smaller surveys of a commercial nature that the number may be as high as two-and-a-half or three million. We don't know what the right number is, but whatever the right number is, it's not a trivial number.

It was her unconvincing, elusive self-defense that continued to damn her.

Especially the young lady who is clearly interested in using guns for self-defense, that's extremely important since gun owners will use a firearm in self-defense about 7,000 times a day. Obviously, that's people's best defense in a moment of crisis.
