And how concealed carry effects the crime rate....
Report: Number Of Concealed Carry Permits Surges As Violent Crime Rate Drops
The “Concealed Carry Permit Holders Across the United States” report from the Crime Prevention Research Center released Wednesday analyzed parallels between a 22 percent drop in the overall violent crime rate in the same time period in which the percentage of the adult population with concealed carry permits soared by 130 percent.
The report finds that 11.1 million Americans now have permits to carry concealed weapons, which are up from 4.5 million in 2007. This 146 percent increase parallels a nearly one-quarter (22 percent) drop in both murder and violent crime rates during the same time period.
Regarding right-to-carry laws as a form of deterrence to violent crime, the study authors note that the large majority of peer-reviewed academic studies conclude that permitted concealed handguns reduce violent crime. Those debates center around those who claim concealed handgun permits reduce crime and those who say it has no effect. The CPRC report focuses on states that allow right-to-carry permits and states that don’t require permits for concealed weapons rather than just the amount of permits.
Additionally, the report notes that the number of concealed carry permit holders “is likely much higher than 11.1 million,” because numbers are not available for all statues that issue permits, such as New York. And four states and the vast majority of Montana don’t require residents to have a
---------
Although cautioning that nationwide “simple cross-sectional comparisons” can present misleading data, the report used new state -level permit data from 2007 on to determine that for each one percentage point increase in the percent of the U.S. adult population holding permits is roughly paralleled with a 1.4 percent drop in the murder rate.
Even Kleck says lotts work is shit.
Blow that lie out your ass moron.

You have 10 asswipe. And Lott is the expert....which is why you don't want to use his work.....nice try though......if you want actual research into concealed carry and other gun issues, John Lott has done the work......and even after decades of anti gunner hate, he is still the go to guy for research.

And more on what brain and his buddies have done to Chicago police....
Chicago police boss calls weekend gun violence 'completely unacceptable'
At an unrelated news conference Monday on the city's Southwest Side, Johnson brought up the Mother's Day weekend violence himself in his prepared remarks. He focused his remarks on how much of the bloodshed is being driven by about 1,300 individuals on the Police Department's "strategic subject list" — those believed to be most prone to violence as a victim or offender.
About 78 percent of the homicide victims and about 84 percent of the nonfatal shooting victims this weekend were on the list, he said.
"That means essentially we know who they are," he told reporters at 50th Street and South Karlov Avenue, where a Chicago police officer fatally shot a bank robbery suspect on Monday. "Oftentimes, they have gang affiliations, and many have had previous arrests and convictions."
----------
He then ticked off nearly 10 examples of how many arrests these victims had on their records, ranging from 20 each all the way up to 41.

More Guns, More Crime
Mark Duggan
University of Chicago and National Bureau of Economic Research
Carrying concealed weapons legislation could plausibly have affected
the crime rate through two channels. Using the magazine sales data, I
find no evidence to suggest that CCW laws caused a reduction in the
violent crime rate through either of these two pathways. Consistent with
this, robustness checks of the Lott-Mustard findings cast considerable
doubt on the hypothesis that CCW legislation had any effect on crime
rates.

Unfortunately, it is often too difficult to account for them. A much better approach is to study how crime rates vary before and after changes in permit rules have occurred.
The current analysis doesn’t provide the sophisticated estimates provided with earlier analyses simply because the necessary data won’t be available for a couple years.
Thus, it should only be viewed as suggestive. Between 2007 and the preliminary estimates for 2013, murder rates have fallen from 5.6 to 4.4 per 100,000 – a 22 percent drop in the murder rate at the same time that the percentage of the adult population with permits soared by 130 percent.
Overall violent crime also fell by the same percentage, 22 percent, over that period of time.
Using this new state level permit data from 2007 on, our analysis suggests that each one percentage point increase in the percent of the adult population holding permits is roughly associated with a 1.4 percent drop in the murder rate.7

DOES THE RIGHT TO CARRY CONCEALED HANDGUNS DETER COUNTABLE CRIMES? ONLY A COUNT ANALYSIS CAN SAY*
FLORENZ PLASSMANN State University of New York at Binghamton and T. NICOLAUS TIDEMAN Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Abstract
An analysis of the effects of right-to-carry laws on crime requires particular distributional and structural considerations.
First, because of the count nature of crime data and the low number of expected instances per observation in the most appropriate data, least-squares methods yield unreliable estimates.
Second, use of a single dummy variable as a measure of the nationwide effect of right-to-carry laws is likely to introduce geographical and intertemporal aggregation biases into the analysis.
In this paper, we use a generalized Poisson process to examine the geographical and dynamic effects of right-to-carry laws on reported homicides, rapes, and robberies.
We find that the effects of such laws vary across crime categories, U.S. states, and time and that such laws appear to have statistically significant deterrent effects on the numbers of reported murders, rapes, and robberies.

We find that the effects of such laws vary across crime categories, U.S. states, and time and that such laws appear to have statistically significant deterrent effects on the numbers of reported murders, rapes, and robberies.
On the one hand, this indicates that right-to-carry laws do not always have the deterrent effects on crime that are envisaged by legislators and that the adoption of such laws is not without risk. On the other hand, our analysis suggests that it would be imprudent to make it generally more difficult for law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns as long as there exist large numbers of weapons that can and will be used by criminals to commit crimes, because right-to-carry laws do help on average to reduce the number of these crimes.
