Should adults have the right to carry a concealed handgun?

Adults should have the right to carry concealed handguns. According to Charles Branas in the American Journal of Public Health, "Concealed handguns are not an effective form of self-defense" (http://concealedguns.procon.org/). This shows that there should be a safer way of protecting yourself. This Indicates that  there are many complications of owning a concealed handgun that can backfire. According to John Lott, "Criminals are less likely to attack someone who they believe is armed" (http://concealedguns.procon.org/). This shows that concealed handguns is a touchy subject when it is used to argue on saftey issues. This also shows that you can't Establish peace in the world if everyone is trying to carry a gun around all the time. In conclusion, carrying a gun does not Justify the fact that you could kill someone even in self-defense.
