“Kill the punks,” A bystander yells as the crowd begins to cheer. The boys scamper in all directions fleeing the scene, running down the boulevard jumping fences and darting into doorways in an attempt to outrun the law. As the police officers give chase, one officer recognizes one of the boys [Lopez] as the leader of a local gang. Bearing in mind the cop is on his tail the boy darts into an alley [karmas a bitch] for just like Freddie’s blunder, he too finds himself in a dead end, with no way out, and the law closing in, he climbs the nearest fire escape. Nevertheless, the officer has already entered the alley and spots him, shouting for him to stop. Except for Lopez, he does not intend to stop and ignores the officers warning while searching for an open window to escape. However, there is no open window and the officer demands the boy stop or he will have no choice but to shoot. For a split second, Lopez hesitates, but not with the intention to surrender, he knows there is no way out, so to stay true to his colors, he reaches into his belt pulling out a Glock 19.

On the day of the beginning of 2016, Texas Government legalized the citizen to carry a gun to public under Open Carry law. Supporters said, the carry gun to public would help to prevent and reduce crime, but I don't believe it. I think this law makes the job of the security more difficult: how does police officer distinguish between good people and bad people? How the police can keep security in an area where people have guns and are protected to use it? Police officer still encounter such dilemmas, how about citizen to face with these above situations? Thus, many people will choose to fend for themselves and their families by buying a gun and bring it out to the public like everyone else in order to feel less dangerous. Consequently, a number
Should people have the right to carry a concealed gun? Carrying a concealed handgun may benefit people a lot of ways but there are some bad things that come with it. Although I do believe that people should be allowed to carry a concealed gun as long as they have a permit and are legally an adult. Concealed guns may increase crime since criminals may carry firearms to attack a victim they may think has a weapon of their own. But on the other hand permitting concealed guns may also protect people who can’t rely on the help of law enforcement for protection.
In the short article "Guns in America" by Esmé E Depres, she shows that firearms are involved in the deaths of more than 30,000 people in the U.S. annually, about two-thirds of which are suicides.
Georgia has many gun laws, which help protect the state and the people in the state. The laws range from having a permit to carry a hand gun, where you cannot carry a handgun, what kind of guns you can carry without having a firearm permit, what age someone can buy a gun. The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms not just in the state of Georgia but it gives us the right everywhere. Georgia also has a law about the possession of people with guns who was involved in a crime, minors with the possession of handguns, and possession of dangerous weapons and the possession of a firearm under the influence in the state. Gun laws are not something to play around with. Georgia takes the laws very seriously and if caught breaking the
Have you ever wondered if anyone around you is carrying a concealed handgun and might misuse it? A large population of the United States does in fact carry concealed handguns. That means in 10 states more than 10% of the adult population have concealed handgun permits. Some reasons that so many adults have permits is because, concealed carry can save lives, and concealed carry can make people feel safer. Some people believe that concealed carry can be a harmful thing that adults in general are allowed to carry a concealed handgun. On the other hand, adults should be able to carry concealed handguns, because most people with firearms most likely won’t misuse them.
Shall issue states are states that citizens may apply and be considered by the state for a gun permit which is also known as concealed carry. John R. Lot, is an economist and has received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA. He claimed "shall-issue" concealed carry laws reduced murders by 8.5%, rapes by 5%, aggravated assaults by 7%, and robbery by 3%, according to a 2000 analysis of FBI crime data”(John R. Lot). This refers to how concealed carry reduces crime and information was reported by the FBI compared to the other states that don’t allow concealed carry. All states need to allow every citizen that qualifies to carry a concealed weapon. Police are there to protect, but are not fast enough. Good citizens with guns can save lives. You need
He can hear the crowd yelling [weighed down by what they witness], yet no one will dare step in, for fear they will end up dead. Freddie starts to black out, as he is beaten down from the constant blows of the thugs. His vision has become unclear. Lopez looks down at the white man, just another Gringo who needs to be taught a lesson on how to make America great again. Sticking another knife into Freddie’s side, Lopez shouts comments to the effect of Mexico is this, and Mexico is that when in reality Lopez was born in the East Los Angeles. The angry crowd flags down a police
The 9mm caliber Beretta M9 handgun has been in service for 32 years after it won a competition in the 1980s to replace the .45 caliber Colt M1911A as the Army’s sidearm. The M9 is a short recoil, semi-automatic, single-action/double action pistol, chambered in 9mm, and has a 15 round magazine. It last received an update in 2006 to the M9A1 variant adding a Picatinny rail for various attachments, a more aggressive front and back-strap checkering, and a beveled magazine well for easier reloading. The Center for Naval Analysis released a report in 2006 on small arms in combat. It conducted surveys on 2608 Soldiers returning from combat over a period of 12 months. Only Soldiers that had fired their weapon in combat were allowed to participate.
Although, many people think mental health tests would reduce deaths caused by gun shootings, I think they won’t do much of a difference in the country.
The third question was asked to see how many participants seen someone pointing a gun at someone else. This question added fuel to the fire, it engaged the participants even more in the discussion. Two participants stated that they saw someone pointing a real gun at someone else while they were walking down their block. They also, added that it was their first time seeing someone pointing a gun. At this point, they did not know what else to do but run and hide from the person with the gun. This was extremely scary to them because they had never experienced something like this before, besides hearing gun shots but never being a witness of it. Next, two participants never seen someone pointing a real gun at someone else. One participant added,

First, there is the story my mother told me when I was a teenager. Before then I never realized how dangerous and scary it can be for woman. Years ago, my mother had been the victim of gun violence. She was in high school when it happened. Around the time of the incident, there was a news report of a man, a rapist that had attacked a few women in the area. The news advised women to have someone accompany them if they were to be out walking. Although my mother had seen the report, she figured she would be safe walking around her own neighborhood. Later that week, she was walking home from school, walking along the same route that she took every day after school. She was alone. Her mind wandered, as it did most days when she walked home alone.
It had been a few hours since I knocked my brother out since he was going crazy.I was sitting in a chair beside his bed when Rick woke up laughing and I asked "What's so funny?" He asked "You were here the whole time? All night." I said "Deanna wanted you in here, calm things down. Rosita patched you up. Carl came by for a while. I sent him home." Rick asked "What are you doing?" I told him "We put Pete in another house. You could have told me what was happening." Rick said "It moved fast. And then Noah. I couldn't tell you about the gun."I said "No, you couldn't. I heard the door open and Carol walked in and Rick asked her "Where'd you get the gun?" Rick asked "Carol You took it, right? I asked "From the armory? That was stupid. Why did you
The boys joke about Tigo firing the gun "I could hear the harps," Dave said. Dave and Tigo have things in common such as they both have girlfriends they both are in gangs that they don't like the gangs they're in. "You like the guys in your club?" Dave asked "None of them really send me," said Tigo. Halfway down page 6, Dave asks Tigo if he likes the guys in his gang and Tigo says none of them dig him.
