Lott, Jr. of the Crime Prevention Research Center joins the program to shed a little light on the overall trends of gun ownership since Donald Trump's election.  According to Lott, the number of concealed carry permits among women and minorities has dramatically increased, and crime rates among all holders of such permits in Florida and Texas are incredibly low.
