Data on handgun murders in Constitutional Carry States

Post by bignflnut »

FBI crime report figures show that Alaska, Arizona, and Wyoming–three states that abolished their concealed requirement years ago–have since witnessed a decreased in handgun murders.

This runs completely counter to the left’s doom and gloom predictions whereby they claim doing away with a government-issued carry permit will mean more bad guys carrying guns, more shootings and violence, etc.

A drop in handgun murders also took place in Arizona after that state abolished its concealed carry permit requirement in 2010. And in Wyoming–which abolished its permit requirement in 2011–handgun murders have declined as well.

A total of 12 states have abolished their concealed carry permit requirement. Those are Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and West Virginia. And Arkansas and Montana recognize permitless carry in the vast majority of their states too.

Republican lawmakers in Michigan and North Carolina are currently pushing to abolish concealed permit requirements in their states.

I hope someone brings this up at the constitutional carry hearings in Columbus.

If you follow the link in the OP there's a link there to this:
Why you don’t need to freak out over permitless carry

The source for that is public FBI statistics.
