John Lott and Robert Ehrlich square off next week in a Reason Online debate!

Do "right-to-carry" laws lead to a reduction in violent crime as Yale research scholar, John R. Lott, 
argued in his 1998 book, More Guns, Less Crime?

Robert Ehrlich, a professor of physics at George Mason University and author of Nine Crazy Ideas in 
Science: A Few May Even Be True, disagrees with Lott's interpretation of the data. He says concealed 
carry laws have probably had no effect on violent crime, one way or the other.

Who's right?
