O'Connor, James F. and Lizotte, Alan, "The 'Southern Subculture of Violence' Thesis and Patterns of Gun Ownership," Social Problems, 25 (April, 1978), 420-429.
Abstract:
Gun ownership rates vary regionally. However, region of socialization does not influence handgun ownership. This denies the thesis of a Southern subculture of violence gained in the socialization process.
