Study on states wrt CC laws, AWBs & gun-related murder

[ELB]

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of state-level assault weapons bans and concealed weapons laws on state-level murder rates. Using data for the period 1980 to 2009 and controlling for state and year fixed effects, the results of the present study suggest that states with restrictions on the carrying of concealed weapons had higher gun-related murder rates than other states. It was also found that assault weapons bans did not significantly affect murder rates at the state level. These results suggest that restrictive concealed weapons laws may cause an increase in gun-related murders at the state level. The results of this study are consistent with some prior research in this area, most notably Lott and Mustard (1997).

Yes, unfortunately if you are not a member of that website/organization, it seems to be about $114 for a copy. I have not purchased one for myself. But I was very interested in its existence. Perhaps it will be more widely published later.
