Your Governor Is Getting Ready to Sign a New Law

Essay

Your governor is getting ready to sign a new law in your state, called the "Constitutional Right to Carry Act," that will eliminate the state's permit and training requirements for citizens who want to carry guns. This means that a resident of your state who wants to carry a weapon, concealed or otherwise, can do so without a background check or a gun safety test. Balancing the right to bear arms against the need to control gun violence, present a brief opinion on the advisability of such a law.
