The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

 

For example, states can take different paths when it comes to the death penalty as long as it is constitutional. "Illinois is one of only two states the other is Wisconsin that does not allow some sort of concealed carry by its' residents". 48 other states allow concealed weapons with some restrictions such as training. This shows citizens that 48 out of the 50 states permit concealed weapons. 96% of the states approve to a certain point. At this time, the law states that you need to be 18 or older to purchase a gun. In addition to the age limit, you need to be mentally stable. "Right now, federal law excludes a purchaser only if he/she 'has been adjudicated as a mental defective' or involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility". The law does not make any extreme restrictions. An extreme restriction could be what type of neighborhood you live in. It could also be who your family members are, ex-con sibling, unstable family member, etc There could even be a restriction when it comes to who you hang out with. More restrictions should be put in play because, like most people, if there is an age limit, you could just ask someone else, old enough, to get it for you. .
             Remorseless, criminals are going to carry concealed weapons even if the law states that they cannot be carried. A criminal is someone who has committed a crime or is committing a crime. They are usually, in most cases, bad people that do not follow the rules. With this view in mind, "Criminals carry concealed weapons regardless of their legality. Responsible citizens should have the same advantages when it comes to protecting themselves from armed attackers". Due to the fact that criminals carry anyways, it should not be up to someone else whether people can carry a weapon or not. "No one is proposing to legalize the possession or acquisition of guns by convicted criminals, which is currently forbidden in every state".
