Does this explain why the same phenomena exist in other places in the country where people can't freely carry guns?

I think that it helps explain the relative drops for a lot of the country (40 states have now passed right-to-carry laws). The question is not that the crime rate can't also fall in the other states, but that the drop will not be as large and that those states that issue the most permits have the biggest drops in violent crime.
