...so there should soon be more data to demonstrate whether or not this fear is justified. It hasn't been in the long-running case of Vermont...but Vermont is a demographic outlier. In Alaska, which has had this since 2003, there seems to be little effect in either direction for rates of homicide, assault, rape, etc. In Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, and Wyoming, I think there will need to be more time needed to establish trending...permitless carry is a recent development in these states.
