More African-Americans Support Carrying Legal Guns For Self-Defense

[loyola llothta]

According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, 54 percent of blacks now see gun ownership as a good thing, something more likely to protect than harm. That’s up from 29 percent just two years ago. In places like Detroit, more African-Americans are getting permits to carry concealed weapons.

Police chiefs usually don’t like the idea of citizens carrying concealed guns for self-defense, but James Craig, police chief in Detroit, says he had to be realistic about the situation in his hometown.

So he endorsed a trend that was already well under way — the trend toward more people carrying legal guns.

We are the most likely to die of violence. I am torn on this, I dont think anyone should be able to conceal a pistol, everyone should be able to carry long guns, that would help stop robberies and home invasions. Most gun crimes are commited with pistols.
