Have they? I'm not aware of any statistically meaningful rise in violent crime/ homicide in the other states that have adopted permitless carry.

That’s what the police are telling reporters. We wouldn’t have data yet because those laws haven’t been active for long enough.

So far no, crime overall has not meaningfully changed. Theres just been an uptick in shootings. That's what guns do, they turn normal crime into shooting crime.

To clarify, it hasn't meaningfully changed in direct connection with guns. It's still subject to an overall upward trend, just now with more bullets.
