Maybe if your town implemented that law crime would drop even more, who knows?

Not saying that it would, merely stating that your comparison between 2 different towns is not valid.
Why can't I compare two different towns? It's very simple comparison of two cities by the same website that supplies data to real estate agents - meaning they aren't interested in the last about firearm stats.

Firearms in their town are required, yet their crime is twice as high.

Maybe if that town canceled their gun law crime would go higher? Maybe. Maybe their better crime rate is nothing more than an overall drop in crime in the past twenty years? Is the town safer now because it has fire arms? Maybe. But it's not as safe as my town, and in the mean time I don't have to be worried about all of my neighbors packing heat.
