Amendment 2-4

Article#4
Amendment 2-4
Title: South Carolina sheriff urges women to carry guns
North County times

A south Carolina sheriff is urging women to carry a small pistol. The reason was for protection against the many wackos in the world. The suggestion was made after a court case for a man who was one of those wackos. The gun would be held in a fanny pack. The sheriff also askes women to stay in groups for there safety.

How does this relate to what we are learning in class? In class we are learning about citizen protection that is found in the preamble. But there is one right that grants this permission to carry a pistol. And that is the right to bear arms, we studied that right and it men's the right to carry a weapon for protection.

I have seen this before at my own home. Me and my mom were going on a walk and we decided to bring a big stick. This story is related to the right to bear arms by when me and my mom were carrying a stick it was for self protection, just like the women urged to carry a pistol.

I feel that this article is good, yet bad. The good part is that women can defend themselves against the wackos of the world. The bad news is that if a stranger carries a gun, that might cause problems. So what do you think about it? I think this is an idea that should be well thought over.
