Academic Language Week 25 - Concealed Handguns

Adults should not have the right to carry a concealed hand gun. This can ESTABLISH problems with children because they will think it is okay to be violent and to solve their problems with violence. Carry a concealed hand gun would INDICATE that they're armed and dangerous even if the gun cannot be seen. They may use the gun for false pretensions and harm themselves and others. Some may JUSTIFY that guns are just a source of protection when really it is basically stating that violence is the solution. If you really think about it, some adults can be pretty dumb sometimes and it's practically saying "let's give a gun to a five year old." Not a very smart idea. Adults should be more per cautious about bringing weapons into their lives. If it really came down to it and we all had to carry a gun, that is not concealed, then it may be an appropriate time to discuss it again, but until then no adult or human being should be allowed to carry a concealed hand gun.
