Here is a list of papers on the defensive use of guns compiled by John Lott.....some light reading if you want to know the truth about carrying guns for self defense....
Do Right-to-carry laws reduce violent crime - Crime Prevention Research Center
If you are interested in the topic...there are a lot of papers listed here.....they detail the research into the subject....
And at the bottom some of Lott's detractors are shown to have been wrong...they used the wrong data when they tried to debunk him....
For the data errors in the one published paper by Aneja, Donohue, and Zhang that claims to find a bad effect from right-to-carry laws on aggravated assaults see this paper.
In addition, Aneja, Donohue, and Zhang have retracted their original claim that the my research could not be replicated. Their argument was that Aneja, Donohue, and Zhang could not replicate the replication work done by the National Research Council that had replicated my research. In an Erratum note published in October 2012 they concede: “Subsequent to the publication of this article, members of the NRC panel demonstrated to the authors that the results in question were replicable if the authors used the data and statistical models described in Chapter 6 of the NRC (2004) report.”
