What does the data show in states that have constitutional carry?
As you are doubtless aware Vermont has always had constitutional carry, whereas adjacent New York State has always had the Sullivan law strictly restricting handgun possession.
I’d like to say that Vermont is demonstrably safer than comparable areas of Upstate NY but I doubt you’ll find that is so. The moral of that story being that gun laws or the lack thereof have a minimal effect on violent crime.
OTOH as previously pointed out here those states that have switched over to constitutional carry have seen no spike in violence either. So there’s no reason not to allow law abiding citizens their full rights in this regard.
