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.
"Shall issue" hmmm, what do the states that have Shall Issue have in common? Would those be the states that previously had (and still do) the most restrictive gun laws? Did those gun bans in NYC, Chicago, Baltimore and DC, etc, lead to any reduction in gun crime when the bans were in place before they were forced by SCOTUS to become Shall Issue?
