San Antonio is a very gun friendly place. Our crime rate is a function of a demographic slice. Lots of the reported crime is drug and gang related. That wouldn't be deterred by CHLs among the demographic slice that carries.
The overall crime rate doesn't really look at this.

Now, if you can get Double Naught Spy to consider looking outside box rather than UCR, you would be the hero of the day...
I don't think there's any proof that CCW is a cause in reduction in crime. There are so many variables that aren't considered when trying to draw a conclusion on this issue as of late. The percentage of actual active CCW permit holders is so small that they can't show a dent. I think there needs to be a heavy saturation of CCW holders in a large geographical area (say 1 in 3 citizens) to prove "an armed society would prove to be a polite society". Until then, a cause in crime level reduction will only be at an individual level.
