Analysis of handgun laws

Reference no: EM1375755

Few states in the U.S. permit citizens to openly carry handguns. People can save themselves in the case of robberies or harm by using these guns. Other states do not allow citizens to carry handguns. Criminals, however, tend to have handguns in all states. Use ECONOMIC ANALYSIS to predict the effects of handgun laws on the behavior of the typical criminal. In particular: (1) Do you think criminals will commit more or fewer robberies in the states with these laws (check on Texas, Nevada, and Georgia to begin with)? (2) How do you think the laws will affect the types of robberies criminals commit? Be sure to explain your "economic reasoning" and find some statistics to back up your findings.
