A model is posited in which guns are demanded for recreation, self-protection, or criminal purposes,
and in which crime is supplied. Crime rates influence guns demanded for self-protection, and guns demanded
by criminals depend upon guns held by law-abiding citizens. Comparative static analysis was
used to investigate the effects of crime and gun control policies, including laws that permit citizens to
carry concealed handguns for self-protection. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
