I don't know enough about when various laws were passed to say whether the introduction of the laws have had an impact. In 2021 the Office for National Statistics published a reasarch breifing on the topic with some top level numbers [1]. I can say I don't walk around expecting people to have a weapon on them, even in some of the higher crime areas of my city (Bristol). But that's just anecdotal and it'll greatly depend on where you live.
