The Impact Of Concealed-Carry Laws, John J. Donohue Jan 2003

The Impact Of Concealed-Carry Laws, John J. Donohue

John Donohue

Thirty-three states have “shall-issue” laws that require law enforcement authorities to issue permits to carry concealed weapons to any qualified applicant who requests one—that is, to adults with no documented record of significant criminality or mental illness. A spirited academic debate has emerged over whether these laws are helpful or harmful.
