Use for Self-Defense

A concealed weapon must be used for the purpose that was stated when a person applied to get the license. A weapon may not be used for anything outside of what was stated and self-defense. A person with a concealed carry permit may use their weapon in self-defense if, and only if, they are in a situation where the use of the weapon is needed. The weapon can only be used if the person is being threatened or being harmed with a greater force than just their hands. The "attacker" must be using some type of weapon than can cause serious injury or death. If the weapon is used in self-defense the person that used the weapon must plead their case and show enough evidence that the use of the weapon was necessary. If the person cannot provide enough hard evidence then they can be tried for a crime and could possibly face jail and will automatically lose their concealed carry license.

  1. I feel only police officers or military members should be allowed to carry weapons with them because they will use them for the right reasons.

  2. I agree with Dylan's comment. You should not own a concealced weapon unless you are a police officer or military personnel. You dont want to be like Plaxico Burress and shoot yourself, bro.
