All american citizens should b able to carry. I would carry a cop but there to heavy! !! I went to las vegas for work one time with some buddies, stayed at a hotel when we got there I went down cause another friend flew in and wanted to meet up I told him where the room was while I went for food. I went back upstairs and the door was locked so I knocked and it opened and there was a black guy I said must have the wrong room he pulled out a 9mm and said nope right room and pulled me in the room. When I got in they had one of my friends tied up on the floor. The other was being held by gun point by another black guy. They took all our money all our beer and even took the pizza I brought up. All because I forgot to pull the door shut. And none of us had a gun. Right after that we all carried guns. Criminals will get guns plain and simple
