<p>Decent book, but Lott overrelies on econometrics that actually backfired for him later when Nagin and Black basically made the data speak otherwise. I do agre with him, however, that the media doesn't report defensive use of guns.</p>
<p>Though there's a simple economic reason for that. </p>
<p>But anyway, I haven't read the whole thing, but part of it for a class I did back as an undergrad on modeling in social science.</p>
