Until you look at the INDIVIDUAL STATES that have CCW/OCW Laws.

Those states have LESS CRIME than Canada... especially violent crime.(Texas, Montana etc)

Now, the states with no CCW/OCW Laws have crime rates that are 4-12 times what the CCW/OCW states are . (California Wash DC etc)

A comparison of Houston TX. and Chicago Il.

Houston had less murders and rapes, but far more robberies, burglaries, assaults, thefts...

not quiet the 4-12 margin you're describing.
