Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Three killed in New Orleans gun shop shooting
Read the headline, “A shooting at a gun shop”. Sounds very scary, doesn’t it? In the state of Louisiana, concealed weapons permits are processed at the state level. But there is no permit, background check, or firearms registration required when buying a handgun from a private individual. Also, the state does not prohibit the open carry of firearms in public. It is legal to carry a gun without a permit for anyone at least 18 years old, as long as he or she is not prohibited from carrying a firearm.
So, a shooting could occur at any retail store at any time by anyone. And if that happens at a gun shop, where gun lovers flock to, others like the shop staff and customers, could shoot back to defend themselves. That is what happened at a “Discount Firearms” shop in New Orleans on Saturday. Such incidents could occur at a restaurant, supermarket, or even at a toy store.
In fact, the US has the highest estimated number of guns per capita, about 120 guns for every 100 people. There are more guns than the population in America.
Read the article and think about what makes American gun owners feel so unsafe.
