Our founder, Donald A. Haubner, compared our organization to a porcupine in a newspaper interview some time ago. As he explained to them then, we desire to peaceably go about our daily lives but, if attacked, we will defend ourselves.

This was how we adopted Casey III as our mascot. He's an agreeable little guy who doesn't bother a soul, but if set upon by thugs or felons he'll soon show them the error of their ways.

Casey I and Casey II, it seems, were victims of skulduggery in previous sessions of the legislature, but Casey III was just too tough for them to put down. He, and concealed carry in Kentucky, are here for the long haul.
