Using data for the period 1980 to 2009 and controlling for state and year fixed effects, the results of thepresent 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).

I tried downloading the paper, but it's only available to subscribers. Can anyone get a copy (Lexus-Nexus?) and post?

I get no hits through Lexis.

Would access to this be available in a public library?

Can a student at campus access this?

Stand by while I search

I cannot get that article from Rowans database, but I found something similar called The Impact of ''Shall-Issue'' Concealed Handgun Laws on Violent Crime Rates: Evidence From Panel Data for Large Urban Cities  that was published in 2005.

 

Guis article might be to new for most databases to have it
