JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 25 - Concealed Carry

--------Should adults have the right to carry a concealed handgun? ---Academic Vocabulary Words: ----ESTABLISH ----INDICATE ----JUSTIFY Adults are not always big buff and strong. So they can't always protect themselves without concealed handguns. Adults should have the right carry a concealed handgun because if America, or American states, tried to change or JUSTIFY anything by people's rights being taken away for their guns then people would not be able to protect their property or privacy when or during an invasion. According to the Pros & Cons "Criminals are less likely attack someone that they believe might be armed" This shows that if the laws change and no one is allowed with concealed weapons, then not only would it increase more criminals but criminals would do anything fearlessly. This also shows that criminals would not bother to try and make a move with someone they knew had a concealed weapon. Also the same linked website states ESTABLISHES that "Even if an adult never needs to draw a concealed handgun for self-defense, a person may feel safer being armed". This INDICATES that even though people do no feel safe pointing guns at people they still feel safe carrying a concealed weapon around because they know they will be less harmed if they carry a weapon with them. This also shows that people would feel scared of they could not carry a concealed weapon with them even they don't like using it.
