Constitutional Carry does not increase homicide rate, just ask the CDC..

[2aguy]

Number crunching using data from the Centers For Disease Control……..16 states had Constitutional Carry in Place in 2020……here is the data on their homicide rates…

As of 2020, the most recent year for which detailed CDC data is available, 16 states had already embraced constitutional carry. By looking at the homicide rates in those states as well as their gun homicide rates in particular, we can get an idea of whether constitutional carry states actually are more dangerous than the nation as a whole.
—————-

The overall US homicide rate was 7.5 per 100,000 in 2020, and the gun-related homicide rate was 5.9 per 100,000. Here is the data for each of the 16 states that were constitutional carry in 2020:

1. 
   
   1. Alaska – 7.5 homicides per 100,000; 3.7 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   2. Arizona – 7.1 homicides per 100,000; 5.1 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   3. Arkansas – 12.2 homicides per 100,000; 9.3 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   4. Idaho – 2.3 homicides per 100,000; 1.4 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   5. Kansas – 6.7 homicides per 100,000; 5.5 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   6. Kentucky – 9.0 homicides per 100,000; 7.6 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   7. Maine – 1.6 homicides per 100,000; 1.1 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   8. Mississippi – 19.4 homicides per 100,000; 16.8 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   9. Missouri – 13.1 homicides per 100,000; 11.1 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   10. New Hampshire – 1.0 homicides per 100,000; no gun-related homicide data provided.
   11. North Dakota – 3.9 homicides per 100,000; 2.2 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   12. Oklahoma – 8.6 homicides per 100,000; 6.8 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   13. South Dakota – 5.8 homicides per 100,000; 2.9 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   14. Vermont – 2.2 homicides per 100,000; no gun-related homicide data provided.
   15. West Virginia – 6.4 homicides per 100,000; 4.9 gun-related homicides per 100,000.
   16. Wyoming – 4.3 homicides per 100,000; 3.1 gun-related homicides per 100,000.

This listing shows that constitutional carry states certainly don’t have a perfect record. Mississippi in particular seems to have a horrific violent crime problem, as do Arkansas and Missouri to lesser degrees. But I will not dismiss any state as an outlier…all 16 are included in the averages.

CDC Data Shows Constitutional Carry States Have Fewer Total and Gun-Related Homicides - The Truth About Guns

In September of 2021, Texas became the twenty-first state to allow some form of permitless or “constitutional” carry. That means in Texas, if you are at least 21 years old and you are not prohibited from lawfully possessing a firearm under Texas or federal law, you can carry a handgun without a...

Contraty to the oft-repeated (and always hoped for) predictions from the left, permitless carry has not resulted in blood runnng in the streets.
