Should adults have the right to conceal/carry weapons

In this essay, you will create a research-based argument that presents and supports a clearly defined position on a topic of your

choosing. (For example, an argument that claims smoking should be banned in public places.) You will discuss and address opposing views in

order to make your position even more persuasive. This research paper should not be a mere presentation, summary, or history of what has

already been written about this topic; it must have a debatable argument. The paper should be structured according to the Toulmin Method

to provide a clear organization to your argument. (This means you must include an arguable thesis statement, claims, evidence, and

conditions of rebuttal.)

Your paper must use a minimum of 3 sources from both primary and secondary sources. Evaluate sources carefully and use only the most

credible and supportive material. You must have one direct quote from a source in each body paragraph (this does not include your

introduction and conclusion.) Each quote must be cited properly with parenthetical citations according to MLA format, with a corresponding

entry on a works cited page.

NOTE! Wikipedia and any form of the Dictionary do not count as reputable sources.
