OC gun population?

[ocxpirate13]

Hey all, I've worked my best google-fu and searched for it here, but to no avail I haven't found what I am looking for. Does anybody know an accurate population number for gun owners in OC?

No.

Literally - nobody actually knows.

As a general rule, about 35% of households have at least 1 gun.

Given our proximity to the ocean - many of us have had tragic boating accidents.

that's probably why even mighty Google cannot find accurate info.

Well, if it's any help, I live in the hearth of the "southern OC bible belt" (Mission Viejo - home of the saddleback mega church) and I am the only person on my entire cul-de-sac of 15 homes who has any firearms.

And of all the people I know socially or professionally, only a minority have any firearms.

I'm trying to make up for the lack of firearms in my area... One mosin at a time

Think of all the Glocks that can be recovered amongst the piles of rust... OC scuba diving meet at Newport Beach?

Odd. Maybe they just are denying that they have any. My tract is very small, but of the dozen or so households that I know, I know at least 5-6 of them have guns, and I suspect more in that group have them. And I'm in a very, very safe area.

And I know (of) many CGN'rs and CalCCW members very near by, so that adds to the OC numbers, nevermind my father in law, etc.

there is a dude down the street from me that has a ruger sticker on his truck and a lisc plate that says something about being the nra.

I live a couple of blocks away from old "travelers city".... there be lots o' guns over there (they just won't tell you they have them until they're pulled on you).
