Benefits of
Right-to-Carry
For Citizens

"[] We find that allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes and it appears to produce no increase in accidental deaths. If those states which did not have right-to-carry concealed gun provisions had adopted them in 1992, approximately 1,570 murders; 4,177 rapes; and over 60,000 aggravated assaults would have been avoided yearly.

[] The estimated annual gain from allowing concealed handguns is at least $6.214 billion."
