What about the status statistics for concealed carriers in states where no permit is required?
The problems most states do not keep sufficient statistics to answer the question.
Texas keeps statistics which are used by Lott. Florida used to keep statistics, but stopped keeping the ones Lott used.
Some other states keep partial statistics.
Of course. Though the imposition of the requirement for a Concealed Carry of a )Deadly Weapon (CCDW) may somewhat suppress the numbers of armed people whether lawfully or unlawfully/ carrying; but Rather than suppressing violent use, the permit enhances the power of the one with an evil intent to be far more powerful through considering the changed statistics of deadly defense.by a threatened victim.
