Guns don't kill people, people kill people. I think any law abiding citizen should be allowed to carry a firearm, all the criminals carry them yet ordinary law abiding citizens have to jump through hoops (in many states, or not allowed at all in others) to carry a firearm for personal protection. Me as a law enforcement officer feel that the more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens is a good thing, the news always points to the bad things that gun owners do, but I know of plenty of stories where law abiding citizens have stopped many a crime but the news doesn't report those.

Just my opinion, and I can and will carry a firearm at all times. I always love to hear the uproar about people carrying guns on campus or in church....seems to me that's where the bad guys target, how nice it would be to have a bunch of armed citizens in those places when the wolf comes knocking!!!

And here's is your thesis statement, "law abiding citizen should be allowed to carry a firearm"

I was thinking about that but the problem with using that as a thesis statement is, law abiding citizens are already allowed to carry firearms. I might be able to tweak it a little to where it says something about how we shouldn't change the law that law abiding citizens are allowed to carry.
