Did Orlando gun training reduce rapes?

Which does not explain why there was no change in the suburbs, where
there was just as much publicity.

Presumably, the publicity was about women in Orlando carrying guns, not
women in the suburbs of Orlando carrying them.

It seems likely that a significant number of women from the suburbs
took the gun training program. I don't see why the publicity would
not have mentioned this. Furthermore, the publicity is supposed to
have worked by reminding criminals of their chances of getting shot.
Should we assume that a rapist will not be able to make the connection
that if he could get shot in Orlando city, then he could get shot in
suburban Orlando.
