“More Guns, Less Crime” is lecture by Second Amendment scholar

Lott’s book is sitting on my nightstand, next in line right now.

(Per the speech) coincidence? If not, this is going to be really interesting! Thanks for the update!

Lott will undoubtedly be asked about this.

He has the statistics to back it up. Mass shootings decline in states that enact non-discretionary concealed handgun licensing laws.

The notable exception: the "unarmed victim" zones. In Texas, a college campuses is one of those zones.
