abstract="In the November 1991 issue of Criminology, authors David McDowall, Alan Lizotte, and Brian Wiersema analyzed several of the more famous cases--such as Orlando and Kennesaw--in which increased attention to defensive gun ownership is often said to have resulted in sharply reduced crime. Applying statistical analysis, McDowall and his co-authors concluded that in no case had gun ownership led to a statistically perceptible drop in the crime rate. Here, Gary Kleck answers the McDowall article.<p />",
