Rise in Indianapolis non murder homicides

[ECS686]

Here is an interesting article. They are somewhat reporting the relation of Constitutional Carry passed in 2022 have a direct result in the rise in non murder homicides but a drop overall homicides
A little clarification Indiana lists all deaths at the hands of others as “homicide” on the Seth certificate. Even inmates that are executed are classified as Homicide But if subsection a,b and C is met it’s justified it’s just listed as Homicide in the Death Certificate

Also side note Indjana has had a License to Carry Handgun Permit since before 1986 predating even Florida

Looking at the data, homicides are down more than 25% since 2023. (so far this year)

It is interesting (would love to read the Wall Street Journal article referenced, but it seems to be behind a paywall).

Where the author surmises changes in laws have caused juries to lose him cases or prevent him from what he appears to want to do (charge those defending themselves), I see it all as it’s about time folks who were lawfully defending themselves aren’t subject to politically motivated DAs because a firearm was used in self defense.
