Sharp shooter

Photographer and writer Kyle Cassidy discusses and signs his new book, "Armed America: Portraits of Gun Owners in Their Homes," on Tuesday evening. Cassidy became intrigued by the fractious subject of gun control during the 2004 presidential election and began photographing gun owners (from a cowboy in Texas to a deer hunter in Pennsylvania to a soldier in Idaho) to provide a new perspective on gun ownership.
