Amendment 2-4
        
                   This article is about a South Carolina sheriff that suggested that women living in South Carolina carry a .45  caliber gun. He urges them to keep it concealed when they are out in public. He displayed a Fannie pack women could conceal a gun in while jogging. He said that the weapon wouldn't have to be accurate but able to hit a target from a fairly close distance. He said that the gun would offer more protection that pepper spray. He also said that walking in groups would be ideal. He discussed this after announcing the arrest of a suspected raper. The 46 year old arrested was charged Monday.

                This connects to what we are studying in history because this amendment allowing these women carry gun is the 2nd amendment which is part of the Bill of Rights. This amendment says that people are allowed to carry fire arms. These women have the right to carry guns with a permit because of the bill of rights. They can carry these guns so they can protect themselves. These women can carry guns because of the Bill of Rights.
   
              This connects to my life because my family including my parents were born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. But more importantly my grandfather owns registered guns. He uses these for hunting and he uses one for protection because he and my grandmother travel across the country a lot. He had to go through a gun safety class to get his permit to carry it, but only a few passed. It is because of the second amendment that my grandfather can carry a gun.

              My opinion on this subject is that the women should carry guns to protect themselves. But they should have to go through intensive safety and awareness classes so, that the people around them don't get hurt unintentulally. That guns shouldn't have to be allowed to protect people. But sadly now a days people can only feel safe if their carrying a weapon. I also think that it would also keep people safe if the government took away all weapons that way people cant hurt each other under any circumstances. That way no one can be harmed physical by weapons and evil could be erased mostly.
