- the existing literature provides supportive evidence that shall-issue laws increase firearm homicides.
- there is supportive evidence that shall-issue laws increase violent crime.
That permitless-carry was found to have no supportive evidence is interesting. Perhaps looking at the crime statistics of the areas prior to choosing the two different approaches would help explain the difference.
