Carrying Firearms
So, in my presentation we talked about how firearms should be legal to have but we should make them harder for people to obtain. One thing we did not cover was about the right to carry in public places. I do not think people should be able to carry outside of their cars. Even if they have the right to carry and are not in a gun free zone people could still start chaos. Most people when they see a gun in a public place like a restaurant are going to want to tell a manager and ask them to leave which may cause more problems in the long run. When someone carries by a school that school is forced to go on lockdown. If we were able to ban carrying guns in public places all together we could prevent mistakes like this from happening.

I agree that there are some places that people shouldn't carry but there are already laws that are made to prevent this. When you get your carrying permit they give you places that they are banned and School property is one that is. I feel like if you know what the law says you should be able to carry. And only carrying in a car causes more danger to the police so its a hard decision to be made.

ReplyDeleteI disagree with you because if you look at statistics you'll see that a-lot of mass shootings have occurred in places where guns are not allowed. if you completely get rid of being able to carry in public places this gives criminals the upper hand, where they know they can commit crimes in places with no real fear of others. Criminals will still carry in these places because they already dont follow the law. i can see how in certain instances this would be a good idea but in general i think it would result poorly.
ReplyDeleteI think that even if you make it illegal for guns to be carried in public places people will still choose to do it because people break laws like these everyday. I think that more strict gun laws need to be enforced though to make things safer for every person. And if more strict gun laws are enforced then it might reduce the amount of gun crimes that are happening.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that most public places should not allow for guns to to be carried by just anyone. There is no reason to need to bring a gun in to a baseball game or a restaurant unless you plan om doing something bad with it like robbing or killing. I also agree that having guns in public places like this would only cause more trouble because if two people get into a disagreement and one or both of them are carrying guns on them then the whole situation will probably escalate a lot faster and it would allow for more innocent bystander to get hurt.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you because concealed carry saves lives everyday. My friend works a delivery job and has had to pull out his gun multiple times, but if it were in his car he would have been in danger. At the end of the day what's the point of owning a gun if we can use it to protect ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know what my opinion is on this topic, because it seems like after laws are put in place to keep society safe, there are people who will always violate that safety. There are murders, mentally ill, and unstable people in this world that will always break the law and there's nothing anyone can do about it, which is the sad and scary thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there should be more laws about guns and obtaining them, but I feel like if someone has already obtained them they should be allowed to carry them. I think it could help with people's safety. Some people would always break the law if they couldn't carry and may try to harm someone else and they would be helpless. I think it is fair to let them carry so they can protect themselves.
