NRA, "Right to carry 2009." NRA-ILA 07june 2009,


The article told about states who have carry permits and how it has helped reduce crime rate. It told how Florida has issued several permits and how people thought it would turn into the Wild West. However few people where rejected to get the permits. The article told how many criminals stop doing their crime because someone had a gun. It told how citizens could defend themselves. “ Justice Dept. found 34 percent of felons had been “ scared off, shot at, wounded or captured by an armed victim,” and 40 percent had not committed crimes, fearing victims were armed”.



With all the percentage of criminals stopping because of fear of their victims having guns was surprising. I am glad it is working. It time the criminals start feeling the fears of there victims. This Article was helpful in letting people know that we don’t have to be scared we can defend ourselves.
