This retrospective, observational before-and-after cohort analysis sought to determine the effect of a new gun control law in Arizona on gun-related deaths and injuries. On July 29, 2010, Senate Bill 1108 went into effect and removed the requirement for a permit to carry a concealed weapon. This study spanned a total of 4 years, 2 before and 2 after the law was enacted. Victims of violent crimes vs. accidents were identified from police department event data as the population at risk of gun-related injury.
