A study on GFZs in Calí and Bogotá, Colombia, showed that the restrictions on gun carrying on holidays, weekends after paydays and election days significantly decreased homicide rates. Homicide rates were 14 per cent lower in Calí and 13 per cent lower in Bogotá during GFZ days than on non-GFZ days. The study also found that the effect was not confined to killings with firearms. Homicides not committed with firearms (close to 20 per cent of the total number of homicides in both cities) were also reduced on GFZ days. This may be a result of the increased police activity and visibility on GFZ days.
