I don't think the legality of concealed carry much effects the ability of criminals to buy firearms.

I would imagine that permitless concealed carry laws would affect the ability of criminals to carry firearms without being stopped before using them more than their ability to buy them.

How?

If the weapon is concealed then it will only be noticed upon a search or after it is pulled out to be used.

You may have a case where a weapon is found in a search. But there's a higher chance that the search simply won't happen because you don't know who is carrying?

The entire distinction between concealed or open carry having separate permit requirements makes absolutely zero sense to me.

The search would the the one that reduces the mass shootings, as after it is pulled out to be used wouldn't generally be soon enough.

Agree that it would only work where police suspect that a person is likely to be about to commit a crime, or dumb luck. Which would be a minority of mass shootings.
