oddly enough it has. kinda. crime dropped in states that adopted shall issue over may issue, as the NRA will gleefully point out...
but....
its just a correlation. unemployment also went down during the same time periods.
since one cant really study this without other influences mucking up the statistics, my gut leans towards there not being much short term effect. thats still a win for the NRA, but is kinda vanilla, so they hype up the drop.
