Folks:

For those who might be interested I have provided a link to the original
research work of John Lott, the author of “Less Guns, More Crime.” Lott is a
Ph.D. economist, who completed this work while on a fellowship at the
University of Chicago. John Lott is currently on the faculty of Yale Law
School.
