off on the highway has a rifle in his back window of his 4X4 and is just waiting for an excuse to use it. Although it may be frightening to think about, this simply just does not hold a credible argument. The person next to you, if he is a criminal, is going to be carrying a handgun whether or not it's legal, and the person in the 4X4 with the mind set to assault, will not be held back by a law.Not having the right to carry is taking away our freedom as Americans. We should have the right to carry handguns as means of self-defense. If criminals have them (and they will have them law or no law), then we should have the opportunity to legally defend ourselves. When we vote against the right to carry laws we are voting for higher homicide rates, higher robbery rates, higher aggravated assault rates and a total higher crime rate. Why don't we take time to consider the statistics, consider the lives that would be saved, consider how many more rapes would be prevented, consider the drop in robbery and consider how much safer America would be. It seems that the citizens of Missouri are against conceal and carry based on the last vote. If they would just give it a try they might find that it will turn Missouris cities into safer places to live, work, and play you can't ignore the facts. So why do so....
