Does anyone have a .gov link showing gun crime rates between CCW states and Non-CCW states? Thanks Derek |
I plan on doing that... but it would help if you would give me a copy of your resources. Thanks |

John Lott has done quite a bit of work on it, including the following (This is literally cut and pasted from his CV): More Guns, Less Crime: Analyzing Crime and Gun Control Laws, University of Chicago Press: Chicago, Illinois (1998), translated into Portuguese (1999). Second edition published 2000. “Crime, Deterrence, and Right-to-Carry Concealed Handguns,” co-authored with David Mustard, Journal of Legal Studies, Vol. 26, no. 1, January 1997: 1-68; portion reprinted in The Gun Control Debate: A Documentary History, edited by Marjolin Bijlefeld, Westport, CT.: Greenwood Publishing (1997): 88-91; single authored summary reprinted in the Valparasio University Law Review, Vol. 31, no. 2 Spring 1997: 355-364. “The Concealed Handgun Debate,” Journal of Legal Studies, Vol. 27, no. 1, January 1998: 221-243. “Deterrence, Right-to-Carry Concealed Handgun Laws, and the Geographic Displacement of Crime,” co-authored with Stephen G. Bronars, American Economic Review, Vol. 88, no. 2 (May 1998): 475-479. “Do Concealed Handgun Laws Save Lives?” American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 88, no. 6 (June 1988): 980-982. I have electronic access to nearly all of them if that helps anyone out greatly. Also, if you email him (he is currently a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute) he will share large chunks of his data. Also, most of the data can be assembled from various sources on the web with little difficulty and studied using whatever technique you want to use. shooter |
It's not his data. It's FBI UCR data. Numerous other independent researchers came to the same conclusion he did. |
Ahh. When I gather enough on all the states I will post the results here. |
