According to the paper, what those states have in common is an increase in violent crime AFTER shall-issue became law.

Take a population with a high crime rate then make it easier to get a gun and crime increase. Who would have guessed?

Take a population that has such a low crime rate that permitless-carry doesn’t seem like a ridiculous idea and crime does not increase. A little surprising yet…

Definitely needs more study but there might be a pattern.
