I appreciate your efforts to present balance information, but you are aware that you've only posted articles criticizing Lott's work, right?

Yeah, that's the majority of the articles [I couldn't find any research besides Lott's that supported CCW laws]. At the end I wrote this,
"If you know the name of a study that supports your position cite it for me and I'll pull it off the database."
I can't do everyone's research but I'm willing to retrieve documents that you or seratogis can't otherwise get. I'm assuming both of you have articles in mind because you keep referencing as fact that concealed weapons reduced crime in the states that enacted legislature that allowed them.
Hopefully your conclusions are based on research besides Lott's work because it has been found to be inaccurate and falsified.
That's the point of publishing in a peer reviewed journal--so other's can evaluate your work. Now that multiple institutions and researchers have debunked his research we need to find some (recent, it has to be within the same time frame as this research) research that supports Lott's conclusions. You tell me what it is and I'm willing to get it for you--I think that's more than fair.
Seretogis specifically stated that he hadn't seen any anti-gun research that held any water. I presented some--work done by Georgetown, Standford, and Duke. Excellent, and by no means liberal, universities.
