This paper -- entitled "Tough Targets: When Criminals Face Armed Resistance from Citizens" was published in January by Clayton Cramer and David Burnett by Cato Institute. It is a valuable weapon in the arsenal of firearms proponents in debating the value of firearms against those who believe that firearms are not a good deterrent to crime.
The study addresses the effect that armed citizen defense has on the crime rate and the incidence of crime. They give excellent examples of firearms defenses by ordinary citizens in their everyday lives against criminal predators.
The NRA interviewed Cramer back on January 8, right after the release of the study.
As most, if not all, of you know Clayton Cramer has been a steadfast supporter of the Second Amendment and has published numerous studies and articles, the most famous of which is "The Racist Roots of Gun Control."
Here are two links to the study and to the video interview by Ginny Simone. The link to the study is in .pdf format. The paper is free to download.
