Carr/English Composition 1301 Patricia Montemayor Professor Carr English Composition 1301 August 28, 2013 Concealed Handguns on Campus, Should Students Be Allowed To Carry? Without a doubt, there is a greater safety concern in our school/college campuses today. There is a higher sense of danger in a place where once thought to be a safe haven for students to go and educate their minds. Today the controversy of weapons on campus to protect those who attend has climbed to the top of the list of school administrators, government officials, and media coverage. This is due to the current events occurring not just in our country but all over the world where countless students and adults have lost their lives to individual(s) coming into schools for reasons never really explained they take innocent lives.
Due to the recent upheaval of violent crimes on campus, many pro-gun activist have suggested that both the students and teachers should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus. Those for this may claim that their rights have been violated because many college campuses refuse to allow weapons of any kind on campus. It is not the right to carry a gun which is in debate here, but rather it is whether or not guns should be allowed on a college campus. The Constitution of The United States of America already grants citizens the right to carry guns, and being in the south, I am by far no stranger to seeing a gun from time-to-time, but it is not appropriate for guns to be in a vulnerable area such as a college campus. There are already too many guns available to the public, and allowing them on an educational facility would greatly increase the likelihood of injury or death.
For someone to be able to posses this permit, they need to abide by a set of laws and to meet a certain criteria. For someone wanting to be granted a permit of being allowed carry a concealed handgun, the law states that they shall be issued a permit. Most other permits are usually issued at their discretion. Shall Issue simply state’s that anyone can obtain a concealed carry permit unless that have a criminal record or a mental illness. Other permits are called “May Issue.” These are the permits that come with many forms of discretion.
David Gray CJUS 200 Application Essay 2-15-14 Can you seize the marijuana plants at that time? If yes, what is your legal justification for doing so? If no, what legally prohibits you from doing so? No, as a police officer you would not be able to seize the marijuana plants at this time, by doing so you would be violating the rights of the citizens of the house that was entered due to the noise ordinance. Actually, the fourth amendment would actually keep you from doing so because it states that “every citizen right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion into their persons, homes, businesses, and property –whether through police stops of citizens on the street, arrests, or searches of homes and businesses”.
First, the border patrol definitely denies entry of known terrorists into the United States. Second, anyone with any sort of ties to terrorism will be denied entry into the United States. The process of getting visas has also become more difficult in that immigration officials perform a more thorough investigation of one’s personal information. For example, anyone with a student visa must have their school enrollment and regular class attendance verified. This is done to prevent a terrorist from using a student status as a cover-up to allow admittance to this country with the intention to commit acts of terrorism.
Let Teachers Carry Firearms on School Grounds School shootings are horrific events that have been happening way too often recently in our society. These events are usually caused by either: a student who has been bullied and pushed too far to the point of feeling that killing people is a good idea, a person with mental problems, or an adult wanting to display an act of terrorism. However, in recent years, schools have learned from these events and have taken the initiative in upgrading school security. They have added bulletproof glass on doors, keypads, and armed student resource officers. One thing that could be the deciding factor for whether a student or staff member lives or dies.
More gun control laws will fix this and make it significantly harder for bad people to obtain guns. Others may think that it is an invasion of privacy to make people undergo background checks before obtaining a gun. Indeed, for a few people, background checks will be considered an invasion of privacy. However, it is very necessary. If there were not any background checks before owning a gun, it is possible for a terrorist or criminal to acquire a gun, like they can now.
This can be seen through the laws that followed after the St. Valentine’s Day massacre, John F. Kennedy assassination and the killing of Martin Luther King Junior which were meant for the government to control the type of guns that citizens could carry and use. I would highly recommend that leaders and citizens to take part in the gun control measures and laws in order to improve their safety and that of their family from crime. I decided as I said in the beginning to pick this topic because a majority of individuals have been affected by gun violence and it has become a menace to society. I will end with “Guns do not kill people. People kill people” at the end of the day gun lobbyists, owners a like and the general public should advocate for laws that encourage buyers and owners to demonstrate that they can possess a firearm lawfully and responsibly.

If you are somewhere without the permission of the homeowner or somewhere where you shouldn’t be you can be searched. Also the police have the right to use reasonable force when they stop and search however it must be used as last resort.
