Carry vs. non-carry stats?

[DasBoot]

Where can I get info on:

A) How CCW states on the whole compare to non-CCW states in crime rates.
B) How the crime rate changed when a state when from a non-CCW to a CCW status.

USN, you've got 60 seconds!!

Try reading "More Guns, Less Crime" by John R. Lott Jr.

Which found that all of the gun control studies that CDC reviewed were not statisticly valid, both pro gun and anti gun.

CDC is a source that comes without the baggage that goes with Lott.
