I spoke briefly this evening at the Casta del Sol Republican Club (quite a group!).  My delivery might have been better if i'd had more than three hours of sleep and less than three pots of coffee, but i did my best.  Here is text of the short speech:

GUNS ARE GOOD. Self-defense is the other side of the Right to Life coin.  There can be no prosperity, without the rule of law it guarantees.

As A gun trust attorney, and concealed firearms instructor, I help families protect life, fortune, sacred honor.  As an Econ major I like efficiency, but efficiency will not get us out of this mess.  We need to change who we are, and become Americans again.

The Supreme Court recently acknowledged: ‘..'a well-regulated militia’ .. cannot exist unless the people are trained to bearing arms."  Jefferson wrote we have a “DUTY to be AT ALL TIMES armed.."  Ben Franklin warned we only have a republic if we can keep it.  We now have the government we deserve.  Does Washington listen?  How do you say “no” to Washington?  How do you form a state militia without a people trained to bearing arms?  The Second Amendment is meaningless unless we live it every day.

Concealed carry has tactical value.  But while an INDIVIDUAL may be safer when criminals don’t know who is armed, there is a better way to warn criminals and tyrants.  SOCIETY is SAFEST when NEIGHBORS know who is properly armed, and who FAILS “to be at all times armed.”  Only open carry provides accountability, and educates the next generation of patriots.  THE HOLSTER IS A GREAT TEACHER.  A nation that does not respect and protect concealed babies will not respect and protect concealed firearms.  Out of sight, is out of mind.  Concealed carry is Concealed Speech.  Open carry is Ultrasound for the Second Amendment.  Open carry is the surest path to a people trained to bearing arms.

Things will not change unless WE change.  We must embrace AMERICAN culture, unique in all the world, in all HISTORY.  If we don’t, our children will lose their birthright, and the world will lose hope.

While we press for more open carry, we must expand Concealed Carry, and deliver a fight-stopping, center-of-mass hit against socialism in Orange County by Electing Bill Hunt as Sheriff!

Then hold that trigger to the rear, release it just enough to reset the action, and put me on Central Committee.  My name is last on the June 8 ballot: Duringer—like the pocket pistol—David R. Duringer, Gun Trust Attorney.  Sign up for my FREE concealed carry class at WORLDEXAMINER.COM ~ Thank you
