Abstract

ABSTRACT Do political dynamics inform concealed handguns demand better than crime levels? In this study we argue and find support for the idea that handgun demand is a product of status politics, displays of political symbolism in response to real or perceived threats to those supporting gun rights and conservative values. We also compare this argument with previous explanations of handgun demand such as crime rates and racial demographics. We find locations supporting conservative political views do have greater rates of CHL applications during moments when status politics were most likely while less support is found for criminal justice predictors.

得克萨斯州的身份政治与隐性持枪许可证需求的政治影响

摘要：政治动态是否比犯罪水平更能说明隐藏手枪的需求？在这项研究中，我们认为手枪需求是地位政治的产物，是对支持枪支权利和保守价值观的人所面临的真实或感知威胁的政治象征。我们还将这一论点与之前对手枪需求的解释（如犯罪率和种族人口统计）进行了比较。我们发现，在最有可能存在身份政治的时候，支持保守政治观点的地区确实有更高的CHL申请率，而对刑事司法预测的支持率则较低。
