re: #165 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

The basic problem with studies like that, and others of it’s ilk, is that to be robust it should compare CHL holders with those who are eligible to have CHL but don’t get one. Those would be the actual comparable populations where the variable of difference was CHL ownership. Otherwise, the easiest explanation for the difference is that the eligibility criteria are what constitute the difference.

But again, I’m not sure what that study has to do with what we were just talking about.

I think the study acknowledged that factor.

How do you define the topic in an open thread ? I put that up as in adding a data set to the general gun stats conversations.
