It's wrong for the state to tell me I can't carry a concealed we

Ed Sendele

 

I would like to give my $0.02. I would have to say I am a fan of a well
written and executed concealed carry law. I feel it is wrong of the state
to  tell me that my wife and I are unable to carry any type of defensive
weapons.

In todays climate, it is naive to believe there are no deadly
weapons in the hands of criminals in the city or in our schools. The
criminals feel they have a need for them and will have them handy if
needed. A well written concealed carry law would allow well trained and
responsible citizens the ability to act in a number of situation if needed
to protect themselves as well as others from dangerous situations. In most
states that have concealed carry, the regulations to receive a permit to
carry are so strict that being able to carry a gun is a privilege. These
citizens have a history of being good law abiding people with good values
and judgement. The argument that says more guns will cause more violence
is absurd. If you would like to meet some firearm advocates I would invite
you to an IDPA match or or any other gun club in the area. These club
members are from all blue and white collar positions across the state and
could have the ability save someones life in the future.

Thank you for the time to read this.

"These citizens have a history of being good law abiding people with good values and judgement." You mean like the cop up north who shot and killed his girlfriend and then himself?

Ed Sendele writes: "It is wrong for the state to tell me I can't carry a concealed weapon" and "a well written and executed concealed carry law is needed." How well does any "well written and executed concealed carry law" stop the bullet fired from a so-called defensive weapon from hitting and injuring or killing, an innocent by-stander? Hand guns are wrong and anything that puts another one on the street, even if in the hands of a so-called law abiding citizen, is also wrong! We need less guns, not more! We have to do a better job of providing better education, real jobs and a better quality of life for all of our citizens, or else we will have more and more violence and crime. Guns are the end of the line of all of the problems that lead to crime and violence. Go to where everything starts and that ends up with a gun being used wrongly. Solve the root causes of gun violence long before guns enter the picture! Thanks for reading this.
