CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Contrary to concerns from some local leaders, a new study shows a decrease in gun crimes across six of Ohio’s eight largest cities following the implementation of the state’s “constitutional carry” law.

The research, conducted by the Center for Justice Research (CJR) in partnership with Bowling Green State University, analyzed data from June 2021 to June 2023, covering a year before and after the law went into effect in June 2022.

It focused on crimes involving firearms, verified gunshot-detection alerts, and the number of officers struck by gunfire.

The findings revealed:

Overall Decline: Across all eight cities, the rate of gun crimes decreased.
Significant Drops: Parma experienced the most significant decline (22%), followed by Akron and Toledo (both 18%).
Mixed Trends: Dayton and Cincinnati saw increases in gun crime rates (6% and 5%, respectively).
