Does owning or carrying guns deter violent crime? Or does it allow more citizens to harm one another? In 1998 legal scholar John Lott wrote a book that presented the most comprehensive analysis ever done on crime statistics and the right-to-carry laws. His provocative conclusion: More guns mean less crime. Now, in the new paperback edition of that book, Lott expands upon the path-breaking research of the first edition. Extensive new evidence is presented on the impact of right-to-carry, one-gun-a-month, safe storage, and other gun laws. This event features a discussion about guns, crime, safety, and self-defense.
