I read this opinion article in the Dallas news about the Democratic Texan candidate for the Governor position Wendy Davis. The author of the editorial mentions that it does not really matter who supports the position on open carry handgun in Texas, the bottom line this standpoint is bad.  Even though his editorial is pretty short but he does present his point of view in an effective and simple way. He states that he does not mind carrying a concealed weapon since that is a second amendment right.  And as long as a person has no criminal history and does not present any threat or danger to other individual it’s a right"I’m not against registered gun owners carrying concealed weapons for self-protection. That is a Second Amendment right given to those who aren’t criminals or pose a risk/ threat to others. And it can be exercised without turning gun ownership into a dangerous ego trip". His argument is very clear and as a matter of fact he further uses another source to support his argument. The writer proves his argument through two points. The first one is how non concealed gun is perceived by people. Open carry gun will cause intimidation to others and also cause a negative energy increasing the chances of provoking others. Secondly, the purpose of carrying a gun is self-protection a way of showing how strong or a dangerous a person might be other people "he point was the ability, within the law, to protect oneself or one’s family — not to convince someone else how tough or dangerous one might be because, well, Check out this Glock on my hip!." I find this editorial very effective in stating the argument and making it clear by presenting a well explained to the point explanation without using very lengthy explanation. Also, the author's audience was not specific to anyone of the two parties’ candidates and he does mention that in the beginning of the editorial.
