Think of this as something like teaching a man to fish. Now you know where
the data is, and how neatly they lay it out for you. The thing to do with it
is to plunk it into Excel and let it draw a curve. If there's a kink in the
curve soon after the CCW law was enacted, something happened. If there's no
kink, it means that the CCW law had no effect.

Phooey. A simplistic single-variable analysis like that means nothing of the
sort, either way. All it means is that _if all other factors were equal_ then
the CCW law had 'x' effect (or failed to have 'y' effect).
