In this compelling portrait of gun carriers, Jennifer Carlson draws on her fieldwork attending guns shows and training courses, becoming an NRA certified instructor, and carrying a firearm to unpack the everyday politics of guns. Far from the halls of Congress, press conferences, and talk shows, Citizen-Protectors shows that Americans care less about the Second Amendment or about which gun to ban than about everyday fears and risks-both real and imagined-and how guns, with the help of the NRA, address those fears.
