Dear President-Elect Trump,

Orlando, Aurora, these are two mass shootings that could have easily have come to an end if someone was shooting back. Murder levels are 86% higher in states with restrictive gun laws. Police officers believe that people with concealed handguns can save lives. In states with shall issue CCW violent crime is lower. I know that you are for national concealed carry. This is good so when people travel state to state they won't break any laws. The citizens of this country use concealed carry pistols everyday for self defense and is vital for a safe country.

People who carry guns are less likely to get in confrontations with police. Also they are less likely to be convicted of a crime. This means that people who carry guns are not criminals. They are hard working americans that enjoy their right to self protection. I know with you as president you will work to protect the second amendment. The second amendment is not just for hunting it's for self protection.

Sincerely,

Joshua Cruz
