Someday I'll be good enough at ArcGIS to literally map this out. Might be more telling if these results could be wrung out by county. Someday I’ll be good enough at ArcGIS to literally map this out.

Well, that's not true either. There's no data showing that the states that allow concealed carry dnn't see a corresponding increase in violence compared to if they did not allow concealed carry. The problem is that the states don't all have equal or controlled baselines, so no hard conclusion can be drawn without more data. To be clear, I'm just pointing out that it isn't PROOF, but it *IS* strong evidence that gun control proponents are just flat out wrong, and shows that the 'basic' data supports concealed carry advocates.

Nothing points to which one causes the other, or even that they are related directly in any way.
