Shot Spotter study reveals interesting outcome.

A study of counties that use shot spotter technology found no particular change in the number of homicides. However it revealed a 15% DECREASE in homicides in counties with permit to purchase firearms and a 21% INCREASE in homicides in counties with right to carry laws.
