Summary

This completed study looked at whether carrying a weapon affects thinking and reaction speed. Researchers tested 82 public employees — 41 armed and 41 unarmed — using light-based reaction tasks and memory tests. The goal was to see if the demands of armed duty change how quickly people respond and make decisions.
