The law, which was set to take effect Jan. 1, would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places, including public parks, churches, banks and zoos.
In California, no shooting by a CCW holder has ever occurred at an existing protected location or one proposed by SB 2. In fact, concealedcarrykillers.org lists just 5 homicides having been committed by CCW holders in California in the last 24 years.

I get the whole constitutional right thing, but clearly these are safe places where having a gun doesn’t increase your personal safety.
So, why bring one?
No shootings with a licensed CCW involved, not no shootings in general. Shootings have happened and will continue to happen and for some reason a group of people demonstrably not involved are rendered defenseless because of it.
PRI is a right-wing political policy advocacy group. Do you have a nonpartisan source?
I don’t owe you that kind of research work. Do you have a source that would discredit or dispute what I’ve already offered?

This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html
