John Lott talked to McIntyre In The Morning about the new gun storage laws that were just passed in Los Angeles, including the one just passed yesterday that would make it very difficult to get quick access to guns. Some academic evidence on this question is available here. The interview was on Wednesday, August 5th, 2015 from 9:18 to 9:26 AM.
From the LA Times:
In a letter to city lawmakers, the union argued that current and former officers needed quick access to guns for protection, citing the armed rampage by ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner as an example of police and their families being targeted. Retired officers have gone through extensive training on controlling their weapons, union officials said.”>The proposed rules would exempt active-duty and reserve officers, but the Los Angeles Police Protective League argued that retired officers should be excluded as well, warning of possible dangers to former officers and their families.
