Q. How do I find articles on concealed handguns

Go to the databases by A to Z linked below.  The databases are in alphabetical order, so click on the corresponding letter to find the databases listed below.

Issues & Controversies and Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints are good places to find introductory information and basic arguments about current issues like concealed guns.  You can find them with a basic search for concealed handgun in the search bar.

The databases provided by ProQuest (ProQuest Central), are much larger but also contain articles about concealed handguns.  You can start off with a basic search for concealed weapons though this will retrieve thousands of articles, not all of which may be relevant. You can narrow this down to a more manageable and relevant list of results through the options on the left side of the screen. Limit to full-text, and then select the Subject dropdown box to additional terms relevant to your search (permits, self-defense, etc.). You could also try entering more detailed criteria in the search bar if you are looking for articles on a particular facet of the subject.

Also try different words with similar meanings, e.g. I used 'concealed guns' in one of my suggestions, 'concealed  handguns' and 'concealed weapons' in another.  If you put quotes (") around your search terms, they will be searched as a phrase, not individual words that may appear anywhere in the article.
