America needs more of this.

My only comment as a complaint is why do people in general and the media in specific commonly use the term "toting" and 'packin' to describe what is actually more properly 'carry' of a firearm?
Use the proper term especially when in a professional mode on the job as this newscaster was, rather than going to slang terminology.
In the BHE courses I instruct we teach "Firearm Carry" techniques, but not 'gun totin', 'gun packin' nor 'gun slingin'.

The usual news term reason is..."If it bleeds, it leads."
