Question of the Day: What’s the Right Age for Concealed Carry?

In the wake of Oklahoma teen mom Sarah McKinley’s successful DGU, I bring your attention to a Sooner State teen who was defenseless against her murderers. “Carina Saunders was brutally murdered as a means to frighten another woman into cooperating with a human trafficking ring,” ibtimes.com reports. “The 19-year-old who graduated from Mustang High School just last year was tortured, dismembered and beheaded. Parts of her body were found stuffed in a duffel bag and dumped behind a grocery store on Oct. 13. She was identified by her distinct tattoos . . .

Jimmy Lee Massey, 33, has been arrested on first-degree murder charges. A 20-year-old woman, whose name has not been disclosed, came forward as a witness to report she had been kidnapped by Massey and forced to watch the brutal murder in Bethany, Oklahoma.

Massey was already being held in Oklahoma County jail on drug charges. He has admitted to investigators that he kidnapped the 20-year-old woman and forced her to watch as others tortured and killed Saunders. He also provided details about the crime . .

Despite the fact that she was known to run with a rough crowd and use drugs like marijuana, methamphetamine and Ecstasy, Saunders was a “random” choice for the killers, according to police.

[Police Chief Phil] Cole said, “Our information right now leads us to believe she was a random choice, as sad as that is. She had relationships within these loosely associated people, and I think that she was a victim of opportunity.”

Oklahoma citizens must be at least 21-years-old to qualify for a concealed carry permit. I know this post is a bit of a sucker punch, and Ms. Saunders may not have qualified for a concealed carry permit for other reasons, but do you think the minimum age for CCW should be lower than 21?
