Topic Q: should citizens be permitted to carry a concealed weapon?

Thesis: Due to recent and continuous cases and events, it proves that citizens should not be permitted to carry a concealed weapon.

Compelling argument: after creating my chart, I would say that when carrying a weapon, it is dangerous to the carrier and people around the citizen. if a citizen believes he/her is in danger and that accusation is false, it can lead to unfortunate events and accidents that should not have happened in the first place due to the fact that the citizen had a weapon on them. This is my compelling argument because there has been an incident that has already happened of the killing of a young boy who was in fact not endangering anyone and his life was taken. My audience might already be aware of this.

Weak argument: You don't need to carry a weapon on a daily basis to protect yourself. there are other ways. this is the weak part of my argument because the opposing position might argue that no one will help if you are in danger and you can't rely on other people for your safety.
