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 0199347557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199347551\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 05\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2015","brand":"Jennifer Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946310435071,"sku":"9780199347551","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ddeb75e5-6848-4621-89f2-16ff2fc23b5c.jpg?v=1681512466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/citizen-protectors-jennifer-carlson-9780199347551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
