Did the report you read include the following conclusions?
- There is supportive evidence that shall-issue concealed-carry laws may increase total homicides, firearm homicides, and violent crime. Evidence for the effects of permitless-carry laws on total homicides is inconclusive. - 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.

It’s illegal to carry a gun into a place serving alcohol. Concealed or open carry.

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.

You know people DO carry guns now don't you? They are concealed so you'll never know. I don't see anybody getting shot over getting served.

“People living in homes with guns were 7 times more likely to be shot by a family member or acquaintance than by a stranger.” — American Journal of Epidemiology, 2003 and “For every time a gun in the home is used in self-defense, there were 37 suicides involving firearms.” — Kellermann et al., NEJM, 1992 (backed by later CDC studies) |
