More guns, less crime

Book • 1998
In 'More Guns, Less Crime', John R. Lott Jr. presents a statistical analysis of crime data across the United States, concluding that the adoption of 'shall issue' concealed carry laws leads to a reduction in violent crime.

The book explores various gun control laws and their effects on crime rates, challenging common perceptions about guns and violence.

Lott's central argument is that criminals are deterred by the risk of encountering armed victims, which benefits both armed and unarmed citizens.
