.@MeredithDeliso at @ABCNews writes about Alabama's new #ConstitutionalCarry law.
She erroneously cites 1 study claiming these laws are dangerous that isn't even about this type of law.
Ignores refereed work showing benefits Table 3 ssrn.com/abstract=38504…

.@MeredithDeliso's piece is on police "opposing" it.
She ignores the law's author was an officer for 30yrs & his whole family are police. There is significant opposition by police, but it is far from universal &, more importantly, police opposition doesn’t continue or reduces.

— If you look at the history of right-to-carry laws, police similarly opposed those laws when they were first passed, but u don’t mention the irony that they now say how great those laws are & they don’t want to change them. Why not mention that change over time in the article?
— The empirical evidence indicates that there is no change in deaths of police officers when these laws are passed. crimeresearch.org/2022/01/change…
— None of the 21 states with #ConstitutionalCarry laws before this year have had a legislative hearing, let alone a vote, on reversing these laws. Political control has since changed in some of these states (e.g., Maine going from all R control to all Dem control),but no reversal
— Police get a lot of revenue from selling permits.
My big concern with this article is there is no attempt at balance. No interviews with any of the police who support these laws or any of the academics who have written showing the benefits of RTC (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…) or CC

More imbalance. Regarding the 1 study @MeredithDeliso cites, she ignores another published refereed study on RTC with the same data & same statistical approach & small, reasonable changes that finds the opposite of what the article she cites shows. Why?
