John Lott's methodology is flawless. The problem is that some people disagree with the way the statistics are analysed. And that works both ways. The studies you cited also use the same methodology as Lott, they just place relevance and importance on other factors than Lott does to get their own conclusion.

Like I suggested, get training yourself. Learn the real world applications for yourself before trying to judge whose study to trust and which statistics are actually telling. The problem is that people like you (and those who conducted the studies you cited) have no real world experience on these issues. They sit in an office separated from reality and come up with what they think actually matters on the street. And in the end their conclusions are worthless.

As someone with training and a very good understanding of the issues involved in self defense law and incidents, I see Lott's studies as far more applicable to reality and find them to be spot on to how things actually work. Call it confirmation bias if you want as long as you don't lie to yourself in thinking you have no confirmation bias in your own point of view.
