While an interesting metric, a sample size of 3 (states) seems insanely low to draw cause between guns carry == safety. There has to be more meaningful ways to glean that data, no?

May as well tie it into most popular music if we're using sample sizes that small.

I wasn't making the argument that more people carrying == safety. I was countering the argument that more people carrying inherently means less safety.

Fair enough, apologies for my confusion :)

But the argument you responded to was that more guns were related to more gun deaths. You might as well have countered any tangential "argument".
