15 years ago, how many States had legal concealed carry?
The “study” doesn’t differentiate between those who illegally concealed carry and those who do so legally.
Those who engage in criminal behavior are more likely to drink? Wow, who knew?

Makes 25 of 50 states with either liberal gun freedoms, or liberal infringement through registration (take your pick), laws, allowing some citizens to legally carry a concealed weapon.
I have no idea about open legal carry up to that point.
But - did any of these eight states in the survey come from the pool? Were they randomly chosen?
How did they verify the veracity of the participants, or otherwise account for it?
Does the questionnaire ask whether carrying a gun is legally done (whether concealed or otherwise)?
Stoopid gets what stoopid deserves.
