304. All I can comment is with my experience in Florida since it has been passed here 2 yrs ago

Considering all the hoopla surrounding it there hasn't been an uptick in violence. At all.

As for the article itself, if you consider the sheer number of crimes committed on a daily basis, the number quoted there is literally a fraction of a fraction of murders/suicides/self defense as the article doesn't mention if the shooter was acting in self defense, robbing a bank, etc. There is no case history represented.

CC permitting requires EXTENSIVE background checks, training courses, and regular reporting. I'm not sure there is much that can be changed.
