Guns, Guns and More Guns
More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-control Laws By John R. Lott
Does allowing people to own or carry guns deter violent crime? Or does it simply cause more citizens to harm each other? Directly challenging common perceptions about gun control, legal scholar John Lott presents the most rigorously comprehensive data analysis ever done on crime statistics and right-to-carry laws. This timely and provocative work comes to the startling conclusion: more guns mean less crime.
I have already covered guns and the laws for them. As I found out Wisconsin already has an open carry law.
In response to a question on concealed carry legislation, Doyle said such laws don'tmake sense. "If you want to carry a gun in Wisconsin, wear it on your hip," Doylesaid, patting his hip.
