Table 2.
Firearm-related death rates in relation to state concealed carry law.
| MCC (n = 8) | SCC (n = 22) | PLCC (n = 20) | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TFDR | 8.15 ± 5.05a | 16.74 ± 5.81 | 19.23 ± 6.03 | <0.01 |
| FHR | 4.52 ± 3.37 | 7.34 ± 4.08 | 5.59 ± 4.93 | 0.22 |
| FSR | 4.84 ± 3.84 | 7.98 ± 2.49 | 13.10 ± 3.79 | <0.01b |
Displayed as mean ± SD. MCC = may-issue concealed carry permit. SCC = shall-issue concealed carry permit. PLCC = permitless concealed carry. TFDR = total firearm-related death rate. FHR = firearm homicide rate. FSR = firearm suicide rate.
a
MCC significantly lower than SCC and PLCC (all p < 0.01).
b
All three groups significantly different (all p < 0.02).
