At the same time, a different kind of headline has captured public attention: a steady surge in pro-gun sentiment among Americans. In \u003cem\u003eCitizen-Protectors\u003c\/em\u003e, Jennifer Carlson offers a compelling portrait of gun carriers, shedding light on Americans' complex relationship with guns. Delving headlong into the world of guns, Carlson participated in firearms training classes, attending pro-gun events, and carried a firearm herself. Through these experiences, she explores the role guns play in the lives of Americans who carry them and shows how, against a backdrop of economic insecurity and social instability, gun carrying becomes a means of being a good citizen. A much-needed counterpoint to the rhetorical battles over gun control, \u003cem\u003eCitizen-Protectors\u003c\/em\u003e is a captivating and revealing look at gun culture in America, and a must-read for anyone with a stake in this heated debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190902140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190902148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Jennifer Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946256990463,"sku":"9780190902148","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_58997b83-7833-423e-80ac-06166193ba48.jpg?v=1681512238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/citizen-protectors-jennifer-carlson-9780190902148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
