We as law abiding American citizens have a right to bear arms. This right allows us to defend ourselves in the event that a criminal attempts to take our life. However, even though we become legally, and politically responsible citizens at the age of 18, we must wait until the age of 21 to obtain our conceal/carry permit eligibility. With all that is going on in modern society, and many of Americas youth being slaughtered before they reach the the age to defend themselves with something other than pepper spray, it is time to take action to lower the eligibility age to 18. Thus allowing all law abiding citizens the ability to protect themselves in situations that the constitution warrants as lawful.
