From the link...
"Findings from recent research are mixed when examining constitutional carry, and other like laws. Some scholars argue that the enactment of such laws not only contributes to crime, but also poses a threat to public safety and increases fatal police encounters (Skowronski & Eith, 2022; Brownlee, 2023; & Doucette et al., 2023). Others question the true impact that these laws have on crime (Young, 2015; Manski & Pepper, 2018). Manski & Pepper (2018) suggested that available research on permitless carry laws and crime should be interpreted with caution as the utilized data in these studies are limited, which may be why such contradicting findings on this relationship exists in the literature."

p.s. That "Center for Justice Research" is an entity OF the office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, whom we've discussed previously...
This guy...
"Following the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, Yost filed a successful motion to dissolve the injunction on Ohio's six-week abortion ban. On June 24, 2022, Yost tweeted that 'The Heartbeat Bill is now the law.' He released a video statement on YouTube the same day in which he said, 'This decision returns abortion policy to the place it has always belonged: to the elected policies branches of the governments.'"
"A ten-year-old girl who had been raped traveled from Ohio to Indiana to have an abortion, as reported by the Indianapolis Star on July 1; her rapist was arrested by July 13. Before this arrest was made public, right-leaning politicians and media sources called the story a hoax; Ohio's attorney general Dave Yost said, "Every day that goes by, the more likely that this is a fabrication.'"
"How may we help you?"
