The problem that I have chosen to focus on is the dissolution of concealed carry laws and permits. In our current day and age we constantly see crime rates skyrocket, and its beginning to wear thin on the population. It is a problem that these laws and permits still exist and are inhibiting the average american from living a worry free life. In other countries and provinces where this sort of law does not exist the crime rates are consistently low, at least on a personal basis. You are less likely to be robbed if the thief has to decide wether or not their life is worth your wallet. Originally these concealed carry laws were instituted for a two fold purpose, 1) To create an accountability system that the government can track, and 2) To make an attempt to protect the people. Currently (especially Colorado) concealed carry laws and permits have been a subject of hot debate, as a result there is a bill in circulation that has the potential to eliminate the need for concealed carry permits. This bill, if passed, would greatly effect the skyrocketing crime rates in a positive way. However if this issue is not properly resolved then crime rates will continue to rise to the point that society as we know may approach total chaos. This problem needs to be definitively solved if we wish to uphold the citizens rights to protect and defend themselves.
