Guns and schools are associated with each other, because when they are, it’s often under a tragic circumstances. The shooting at Columbia High School in April 1999,Virginia Tech University in April 2007 and Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting 2012. All these horrible moments make us ask are self is it unthinkable for firearms to be allowed in and around schools under the hands of concealed permit gun holders? That’s no longer the problem to this argument guns in schools is self defense: “ Armed students or teachers have the opportunity, not only to defend themselves, but to stop an assailant before other people are killed or injured.” Benjamin Findley said. Proponents of concealed carry say“ Criminals are less likely to attack someone they believe to be armed.” I believe carrying a concealed handgun in public should be permitted for individuals that have been issued their concealed weapon permits because in order for them to obtain that permits. They have meet the minimum requirements, such as “minimum age, no prior felony conviction, and no recent commitments to a mental institution.” There are 35 states that have “shall-issue laws where police do not have discretion in issuing concealed weapon permits.” I don’t believe that the individual who carry concealed guns that are planning to seek out danger and confront others physically with force with the intention of killing there loves ones. The proper use for individual with concealed handgun carriers stated by Benjamin Findley “I want to avoid and retreatfrom danger and strongly believe in the power of deterrence and peacefully and rationally talking through differences to solve problems. Only as a LAST RESORT, I want to be prepared to defend myself with a gun when attacked or threatened with death or serious physical harm. I don’t place myself in dangerous situations or go places where I think danger may be present. In other words, my primary form of self defense is AVOIDANCE of potential danger, NOT confrontation.” According to recent studies by John Lott PhD concealed handguns have proving to stop criminals rom committing crimes and following the law. “ Laws have reduced homicides by 8.5%, aggravated assaults by 7%, rapes by 5%, and robberies by 3%. Lott argued that if states that did not permit concealed handguns in 1992 had permitted them in 1977, 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,00 aggravated assaults, and 12,00 robberies would have been prevented between 1977 and 1992. We live in a world in which I recognize the criminals that are, uncivilized people, violent behaviors and natural disasters that occur unexpectedly. I would want to rather feel protected around concealed gun carriers that can protect against a violent act. The right to carry concealed handguns is guaranteed to make me feel protected
