Now there are 27 Constitutional Carry states. The consequences of relaxing gun laws is that crime does NOT go up. In some cases, crime goes down.

it is actually now 29 states.

Mexico gets the crime impetus "Over the years, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has laid out various justifications for his “hugs, not bullets” policy of avoiding clashes with the cartels. In the past he has said “you cannot fight violence with violence,” and on other occasions he has argued the government has to address “the causes” of drug cartel violence, ascribing them to poverty or a lack of opportunities."
