Abstract

This research tests the impact of state bans on gun carrying among persons age 18 to 20 on rates of violent crime committed by persons in that age group. The research uses a state-level cross-sectional weighted least squares analysis of murder, robbery, and aggravated assault rates in 2000, controlling for possible confounding variables. The results indicate no significant effect of these carry bans on any of the three violent crime rates
