Positives

I've been waiting to get to this part because I think it holds up to be true & valuable information for all the naysayers to see. The good out weighs the bad, even when it comes to guns. Or at least that's my opinion. I decided to use http://concealedguns.procon.org/ again for one of my sources since it's a reliable source. The pros they give are:

• Criminals are less likely to attack someone they believe to be armed
• A study by John Lott, PhD, "shall-issue" laws have reduced homicides by 8.5%, aggravated assaults by 7%, rapes by 5%, & robberies by 3%
• Owning a concealed handgun makes a person feel safer
• Majority of adults who carry are law-abiding citizens who don't misuse their firearms
• Criminals retreat 55.5% when someone draws a handgun in self-defense

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. … Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man" - https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/ccm-columns/features/concealed-carry-saves-lives-part-1-values-current-data-and-the-constitution/

If that doesn't stick out to you as it did to me there's something wrong. A wise man, Benjamin Franklin, once said, "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither"
