Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright made the suggestion Monday while discussing the arrest of a suspect in an attempted rape last weekend.
he suggests that women carry a .45-caliber weapon because he says they wouldn't have to be accurate, just close to the target. He showed reporters at a news conference a fanny pack women could use to carry a handgun while jogging.
Forty-six-year-old Walter Monroe Lance of Spartanburg was charged Monday with kidnapping, first-degree criminal sexual conduct and grand larceny in a Sunday attack on a woman in a park.
This connects to what we are learning in class because the right to own a gun/weapon is part of amendment 2 in the bill of rights. There, it states that people have the right to own a licenced weapon. It it perfectly fine for them to own a weapon. My opinion is that it shouldn't be a gun. For example, a gun is quite dangerous itself and some women could use it for the wrong purposes.It may stop crimes with rape and harassment but it can cause unwanted shootings and other crimes. I think that this could be a good idea for threatened women but substitute the gun for something else.
This connects to my life because if this idea spread around to the other states then this could improve the safety of me and billions of other women. This could stop lots of crime with rape, harassment, and other things as well. It could create problems for women and for other people to know that women are allowed to walk around randomly with a gun even though its used for protection.
