Open Carry In Criminal Justice Cases

The open carry law was not a good idea because it is dangerous and not protected. Even though it can protect you and your surroundings. Basically what open carry law is, it is when you get to carry any handgun in public. I really think it should not be legal to all states. Gun violence and Second Amendment rights have been banner issues as the U.S. grapples with our title as the only developed nation with such a large and ever increasing number of mass shootings. Although the federal government is at a standstill on how to move forward, Texas took it upon itself to pass new open carry and campus carry laws in June. One of the biggest concerns of law enforcement is establishing the fine line between respecting the rights of someone legally carrying a handgun and protecting the general public.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a complete stranger who is in your house, threatening to harm you, and your family, and you cannot do anything about it. Imagine, not being able to go target shooting or hunting, because there are laws passed to prevent you from owning a firearm. The truth is, more and more people in this country are trying to restrict law-abiding people from owning firearms due to the overwhelming rise in gun related crimes. As law abiding citizens, the constitution gives us the right to bear arms. Whether it is for recreation or protection,

I feel like there's nothing wrong with having protection, but it's how you use your protection that determines weather or not it should be legal. Me personally would say that the open carry law should be legal because there's so much happening especially murders, and robberies. People of the United States need protection at least to carry around with them because you never know what can happen especially at night time. Now I don’t condone in people just using their protection to go wild with their weapon and shooting people with no reason behind it, but what I do know is that I want a gun of my own when I am old enough to purchase one just for protection, and to protect my future family. The new year brought a new law that's generated a lot of heat in Texas the open carry law of handguns. In Texas you can now openly carry a handgun in a hip or shoulder holster. You don’t need to conceal a gun like you did in the past. In Texas in order to openly carry a gun, you have to have a concealed- handgun license. You have to at least be 21 or older. You also have to complete classroom training and pass a shooting test. You have

Not only is it our right to own guns for protection against a overbearing government, but also against those who intend to infringe on the peoples security. The criminals don't care about gun control laws for themselves. Actually, they are hoping for more laws will pass for gun control. It makes breaking the law safer and easier for them. A common belief is that people don't need guns because we have the

From other countries and in the eyes of foreigners and refugees, America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. With rights that are given to us, we are free to say anything we please; to not be searched or have things seized from us unreasonably; and the most important right, the one that defends all of the others, the right to keep and bear arms. Understanding the rights given by the 2nd amendment of our constitution has been a major issue in America, since the day it was written. This right lets us own our own weapons, and it should not be controlled by the government how many and what guns we can own. With modern technology, guns have become so much cheaper and accessible that some regulations must be put into place, and

There are a lot of people that don’t feel safe out there in the world when they are by themselves.The people need to have the right to Bear Arm in order protect themselves from all of the crazy violence that happens everyday out in the world. People need to have the right to bear arms for self defense in order to protect themselves from home invaders, and robberies, and rapist. The people of the Unites States have the right to feel safe in the world and they should not have to be scared if a shooting is going to happen or not. There has been a lot of random shooting throughout America, for instance a shooting just happen up in Organ at a community college, after the shooter killed and injured some of the college students in Organ he committed suicide.There is a lot more shootings that has happen in this past year, there has been 18 mass shootings in 2015 alone, According to the washingtonpost.com. So the people should have the Right to Bear Arms in the United States of America.

Did you know that 42% of Americans will be the victim of a completed violent crime (assault, robbery, rape) in the course of their lives(Agresti)? Yes, that is a very scary thing to think about. But did you ever think that gun control laws could be the number one reason why that number is so high? Gun control in America does not need to increase in order to make gun related violence decrease, make it easier to carry concealed weapons, and to enable individuals to be better equipped to protect themselves and their families. Gun control laws should not increase because as of right now it is already hard enough for people to be able to own a gun even if they aren't convicted felons. All of the mass shootings, the home invasions that end in broken

It was protected to a extent in the constitution, which is part of the heart and soul of our country. When the government puts restrictions on guns and concealed carry permits, many people feel as if our rights are under siege. With the many incidents occurring, there is still many people that want more control on guns because they believe that tightening the reins on permits will help with the shootings. Although there is evidence on both sides, whether this is true or not, remember correlation doesn’t mean causation. People are biased so they will only look at the good that proves their point and the bad the disproves the other side; but there is pros and cons of both sides for this country. On the gun control sides, their biggest quote is guns kill people. It’s true that people with guns can kill people and sometimes just having guns around increases the rate of

Today, I am going to tell you about the right to carry concealed gun and why we need it. I have researched both sides of this controversy, and the need to carry concealed gun is the stronger argument. According to Deborah Homsher, author of Women & Guns: Politics and the Culture of Firearms in America, when states passed the laws which give adults the right to carry concealed guns if they don 't have a criminal record or mental illness, “the number of multiple-victim shootings declined by 84 percent” (265). Furthermore, a 2015 report from the Crime Prevention Research found that the number of concealed guns permits has soared, growing from 4.6 million in 2007 to over 12.8 million in 2014 (6). First, I’m going to tell you effective of carry concealed gun. Second, I’ll tell you the purpose of being

The United States Constitution says that its Citizens have the right to bear arms. This Amendment, when written had no limitations or constraints, however there seems to be more laws than ever trying to govern or ban the carrying and even ownership of firearms as a whole. Many say that the reasons for the attempt of gun control laws are due to the safety of the public nevertheless if you look at the statistics themselves it shows that armed law bidding citizens stop more violent crime involving and not involving firearms if armed than the police department, which are paid to provide the service and are mandated to protect and serve. The Chapters of Freedom, (1992) Now, there are a few safety reasons out there why ownership of firearms could be banned, but these arguments are mostly offset; not only for the need for protection, but because of how the restriction of this constitutional right would become dangerous close if not, taking away United States citizens personal freedoms.

Breaking News Today on Fox4, I will be discussing the New Open Carry Law that went into effect in Texas on Jan.1,2016.Rape, protection, and kidnapping are all good reasons for carrying a gun openly because if something bad happens, you'll be able to protect yourself.

That right is in the midst of being taken from us because someone decides to shoot another person. Because one individual decides to shoot another person doesn’t mean the rest of the country shouldn’t have the right to defend their selves. The government is putting new gun laws in effect to strip this right from us because they think it is going to protect the people. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The defense of myself and my family should not be taken away from me due to the actions of a politician in a guarded building keeping them self because they don’t like the violence in this

Armed and ready, the Miracle family of Sterling Heights, Michigan is fully prepared to take on any terrorist threat. Like a growing number of Americans, they believe such readiness, including a house with 25 firearms, is their civic duty. According to Lee Miracle, “We see preparedness as like having a fire extinguisher – you never want to use it, but it is there”. Lee Miracle also believes in his right to bear arms as provided in the US constitution. He, along with others, feels that by openly carrying their weapons they are standing on the front lines of America’s homeland defense. (Alison, 2010)

America has always prided itself on being the land of the free. Our national Constitution and Bill of Rights have ensured that the people of America maintain their basic rights. Nevertheless, many of the rights guaranteed in these historic documents are often the subject of heated debate. The right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee against self-incrimination, the First Amendment’s protection of speech and petitioning activity, all of these issues have been subject to contentious arguments in courts of law and the courts of public opinion. Of late, however, the most lengthy, argumentative and noisy debates have focused on gun control. Some people think that

Even Though defending yourself against a cop may be a little risky, we should still have the option to bear arms. I know there has been different situations that could support the second amendment, such as robberies, kidnapping, terrorist acts, mass murders, etc. However in those situations you cannot always depend on law enforcement. According to Chelsea Mitchell at Secure Pacific Corp., the average police response time is seven minutes nationwide. Pulling a trigger only takes a second. The perp may not have a gun, but he on average police reaction times has seven minutes to torment you and vice versa. So ask yourself would I really want to be without a firearm? For the people with families,”shouldn’t I give my family peace of mind by doing whatever it takes to protect them”? Or the elderly, not everyone has
