In Journalism class this week we read a article called New Fashion Wrinkle : Stylishly Hiding the Gun, about a organization named Woolrich a 182-year-old clothing company. The special thing about this article is that Woolrich Industries are making clothes that are capable of hiding a firearm.
People say that these type are of clothes are good for protection, they say that this helps gun owners practice "maximum uncertainty" which means meaning that if a gun is sufficiently concealed, a potential criminal will be unsure whether to attack. Gun experts are trying to see if this kind of tactics slow down crime.
This is a big change because in 1980's people could only conceal their weapons with a permit in 8 states. If this clothing because more popular among gun carries other clothes company like: Polo, Hollister, Abercrombie and other top clothes line.
I believe that it is a good thing that these clothes are being made, if crime becomes reduced. But if it only causes more pain and suffering then it shouldn't be legal. Yes it will send a message to criminals that you shouldn't mess with just anyone because you don't know what they "have". But some people might use this new crime for their own purposes. By own purposes i mean that they might try to rob a store or someone without a gun .
