Thumbs up Almost 19M Americans have CCWs!

1.4 million more Americans than last year have concealed carry permits, report says

Even as the topic of gun control continues to remain a focus in the Democratic 2020 presidential primary, more Americans than ever are believed to have obtained concealed carry permits.

In a report released this week, the Crime Prevention Research Center says there are now nearly 19 million Americans with permits to carry a concealed handgun – an increase of 1.4 million, or about 8 percent – from around this time last year.

...

The state with the highest percentage of concealed carry permits is Alabama, with nearly 26 percent, followed by Indiana with 18 percent and South Dakota with 16 percent.

The center also said that three states have more than 1 million concealed carry permit holders – Georgia, Texas and Pennsylvania – while Florida is the only state to have more than 2 million.

But we need to limit the amount of those carrying as they’re a threat to society.

I hope to see more attempted mass killers stopped as numbers grow.

I wonder if they double/triple/quadruple count the Californians that have CA, UT, AZ, FL permits? I have two.

And yet the most populous county in the nation. Has only 400 affluent, well connected political butt puppets who can exercise as a privilege, a right enumerated to all citizens.

Does not reflect how many are legally CCW in the 16 ConCarry states. A census review of "Voting Age Adults" gives a better overall view of total possible CCWs nation wide. Added to the 19M.

Numbers rounded up/down to nearest 100K. And shown as millions.

Ak......................................... .6
Az....................................... 5.1
Mn...................................... 1.1
NH...................................... 1.0
Vt....................................... .5
Id....................................... 1.2
Ok...................................... 2.8
Mo...................................... 4.7
Ks....................................... 2.2
Wy...................................... .4
ND...................................... .6
SD...................................... .6
Ar....................................... 2.2
Ms...................................... 2.2
Ky....................................... 3.4
WV...................................... 1.5

Amounts to 35.5 MILLION, less those few that fall in the [18-21] window for most states. So even if we subtract a generous .5 MILLION for those few. That gives a possible;

54 MILLION people who can RIGHT NOW legally CCW in the USA

As good as it is that there are almost 19M CCWs, that's only about 5% of the population. I'd guess that the number of people who actually carry everywhere all the time is probably half of that.
