How do you feel about CCW’s (licenses to Carry a Concealed Weapon) that allow law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons in
public?
I feel is a good idea to do so because at least it gives those with bad intentions a little harder to obtain these weapons
NEW STUDY: OVER 14.5 MILLION CONCEALED HANDGUN PERMITS, LAST YEAR SAW THE LARGEST INCREASE EVER IN THE
NUMBER OF PERMITS
This website has a map of state CCW laws. Would you ever get a CCW when you turn 21? Why or why not?
I do not think i would because California has a lot of restrictions when it comes to guns, i think that you could get in trouble if you do not
follow the rules
In summary, my opinion on guns is: they are good for self defense from criminals, they are also lethal weapons so they must be
treated carefully, they can be dangerous when given to the wrong person
