Excited to share my article for @ThePublicSquare on the hidden dangers of right-to-carry concealed firearm laws! A short, nontechnical summary of my research at Stanford with @JohnDonohueSLS and @mattbondy007. Read the article here: zocalopublicsquare.org/2023/11/06/why…

What will be the impact of today’s #scotus decision striking down NY’s gun permit law? Our new study provides some insight into that very question! This will be my first working paper, and a very timely one! More details coming later this week
Matthew Bondy@mattbondy007
The people of NYC, Baltimore, Boston & 9 largest CA cities can expect worse policing, more stolen guns, and an extra ~6,096 violent gun crimes/year thanks to today's #scotus decision. Stay tuned for forthcoming NBER WP w @JohnDonohueSLS @SamuelCai & Phil Cook! #EconTwitter
