Concealed Weapons Crime

96 Words1 Pages
The concealed weapons law stops crime quite significantly. The law has reduced murders, rapes, aggravated assaults, and robberies. Murders by 8.5%, rapes by 5%, aggravated assaults by 7%, and robbery by 3%. More research was conducted on why this law helps deter crime and between 1980 and 2009, states with more restrictive laws for concealed weapons had gun-related murder rates that were 10%. Also, before Florida passed the concealed weapons law, they had 36% higher crime rate than the nation average. All these statistics proves that the concealed weapons law is important and should always exist.
