Utica, NY (10/10/2013)

- The Applied Ethics Institute at Utica College presents a lecture titled, “Guns, Crime, and Self Defense,” featuring Jeff McMahan, professor of philosophy at Rutgers University, on Thursday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. The lecture will take place in the Library Concourse on the UC campus.

Professor McMahan will discuss vital issues with regard to private gun ownership. Does private gun ownership lead to the reduction of crime? Will prohibiting gun ownership deprive people of their right to self-defense?
