       In my research I have determined that concealed carry should not be abolished. Concealed carry permits for firearms are useful for keeping citizens safe. Most citizens who have concealed carry permits are very responsible and go through a large amount of training to get the permit. Concealed carry is useful to protect citizens from violent criminals. I believe that a person who passes the necessary tests should be allowed to conceal carry. I believe concealed carry should still be allowed but you must be an adult and have no criminal record. Citizens with concealed carry permits are safer from criminals and can use it to protect the people around them. It is my opinion that concealed carry is beneficial for the safety of citizens and that it should be abolished. In researching this I chose this quote because it shows contrary to stereotypes that not only white males have concealed carry permits.


     Most concealed carry permits are for protection. The majority of people who get concealed carry permits use it for protection from crime and for their families. Contrary to popular belief concealed carry permits are held by women and minority not just white males. According to the Washington post " Women and minority populations are getting more permits than white men" ( Howell, Washington post). This is a credible source because they pass the CRRAPP test and are a credible news outlet. Concealed carry is useful for the protection of all law abiding citizens from criminals. I believe concealed carry should not be abolished because it is useful for the entire population by having protection from criminals. Lastly it is my opinion that concealed carry is already highly regulated and those who have them are more responsible than many other gun owners.
