Why It's OK to Own a Gun

"Why It's OK to Own a Gun is a model of civil, intelligent, and persuasive discourse on a hot-button issue. It breaks new ground and offers a novel argument for the permissibility of gun ownership that should interest researchers, journalists and the general public. It is a joy to read."
John Thrasher, Chapman University

"An excellent book, rigorously argued but sprinkled with personality throughout. A good example of philosophical analysis on a hot-button issue, the book works both as a general introduction to the topic and as an original contribution to the philosophical literature on gun rights/prohibition. Extremely well-written, it discusses sometimes conceptually difficult material with a very light touch."
Dan Waxman, National University of Singapore
