Here at Bearing Arms, we try to make certain that we don’t confuse correlation (the relationship of things happening together) with causation (the act or influence of one thing or event causing another).
That plainly stated, there’s an interesting bit of correlation that has been occurring since the mid-1980s when concealed carry began to spread across the nation that has now made it’s way to the “murder capitol” of the United States.
Illinois was forced to adopt “shall issue” concealed carry by the courts, and began accepting applications for permits in early January.
