opinion story

Everyone has different opinions on the effect of allowing concealed handguns, but I think that concealed handguns strengthen self-defense more than it strengthens lethal assault. The police cannot always be there to help people in danger, so citizens should have the ability to protect themselves.

            Not only does the Second Amendment ensure the right to carry a handgun in appropriate areas, but most adults are extremely responsible with their guns, because owning a gun will raise your awareness, Nick Leghorn found that concealed carry permit holders were actually 5.48 times less likely to commit violent crime with a firearm than someone with no permit or gun (that legally belongs to them).

            The majority of Americans support concealed carry, so when concealed carry supporting laws were passed in 1977, public shootings declined by 84%, deaths by 90% and injuries by 82%.

 In 2007, a volunteer security guard at the New Life megachurch who was carrying a concealed handgun shot an attacker who had open fired in the church. If the man had not been there with a concealed gun, many would have died to the shooter.

Some people think that with more Americans carrying guns, gun related violence will also increase, weather on accident or on purpose, and I can understand the reasoning behind this, for example, a toddler playing with a gun left on the table and injuring or killing somebody, or an angry driver not thinking and pulling a gun on somebody. However, most legal concealed carriers know better and they know how to prevent these things, as they will usually be given a safety course and they must meet specific requirements.

And I realize that some people obtain gun-carrying permits with malicious intent, or they do not pay attention to the important information. And that is why I also think that to get a permit, the training should be extensively elonged and that they will have to pass a test over what they learned and sign an oath declaring that they will abide by the rules.

Therefore, I support the right of concealed carry for everyone, both to help them in self defense and make everyone feel safer.

student of the month story

  On april 23, 2017 james bowie high school issued school uniforms to prevent leaving school. They will give everyone a shirt and pants that they have to wear to school and if you dont it will count against your incentive and grade.
  Everyone has different opinions on this idea, because while it can help the attendance, it makes it more difficult for students and they cant adjust to the weather. mostly its the students who disagree with the idea, while the teachers support it.
  James bowie highschool recently issued mandatory school uniforms."We decided to do this because students would leave in the middle of school and it would mess up their attendance, but its much easier to identify a student wearing the school uniform skipping," said school administrator Nicolas Nassour.
  a lot of students do not agree with this idea "the uniforms would prevent skipping, but it makes it too hard for the students and we cant adjust to the weather properly," said student Nicolas Nassour.
  James Bowie high School has 2 months to decide of they want to issue uniforms.

I would have liked to do the womens protest, because i want to know what its like to be at a protest, and I feel it would be nice to chat with other people who support womens rights. 

Overall the article was very good, it had some parts that i wasnt very interested in and some parts that i was, but that is normal. It was very good with the photos, and it had accurate and detailed storys and captions for each picture. However it wasnt very eyecatching, and The headlines were not as interesting as they could have been.
