Concealed carry in the United States

Heart of America The second amendment to our constitution states that Americans have the right to bear arms. Which means own firearms. The original intent was to have the weapons for defense. (Martinell, 2014) However in the wrong hand, firearms can be used to kill people. This makes people wonder, should the 2nd Amendment be repealed or changed.

Not only this but it is our right, as citizens in this free country, to carry. In a study from the FBI crime database in 2000 results showed “that states that allowed concealed carry had lower murder, assault, and robbery rates.” The crime rates went down because more people had protection on them. If you were going to rob…
