I thought the Stanford Law paper was much better written, but I am not sure of some of the findings other than refuting some of Lott's contentions, there were not any findings that individuals who hold CCW permits were responsible for any of the crime. There was no evidence that demographic changes were accounted for in population size. Findings often noted that there was a neutral or no effect using their models vs claims by Lott that crime went down. I don't see how that matters much, other than as fodder to discredit Lott.

But what ever. If you need the police I hope they get there in time, but don't hold your breath.
