What kind of info? The NRA can usually be helpful (www.nra.org).
There is an interesting situation in Richmond , VA (USA) where "Right to
Carry" is in effect along with a zero tolerance policy for gun crime->
http://www.nra.org/crimestrike/exile.htm. Look around for the
correlation between Right to Carry and reduced rates of robery, assult
and rape. These types of crime have dropped by around 60% in Richmond
with the combination of an armed civilian population and zero tolerance.
