Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
https://www.gunstocarry.com/concealed-carry-statistics/
I'm sure there are other sites with similar data, but thought this was interesting.
Particularly as to how some very 'gun-friendly' states have LOW numbers of CCW licensees, but of course that may reflect permitless-carry.
It would also be interesting to see the CCW listed as per-adult-citizen. Indiana has about 5 million adults, so almost one out of every six adults in Indiana has a CCW license....

Re: Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
I agree with Steve, the percentage of eligible residents should be listed.
I also see that there are ONLY three states with over a million permit holders.
Should it become a goal that we support a movement to increase the lagging states, minus the Constitutional carry states, to over a million permit holders? That gives a target of 30 states to upgrade to the "Over a Million" premium status. KWIM ?

It will be a little difficult to "upgrade" Wyoming to "Over a Million" status, that's almost twice our total population.Grizz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 1:38 pm I agree with Steve, the percentage of eligible residents should be listed.

Doesn't Kansas have about 7 million people now? I think they have Constitutional carry.
Texas has a decent permit system, but I would like Constitutional Carry here. It is good, but could be better.

Re: Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
Interesting site and comments above.
It's not like I'd trust politicians to do the right thing....
Old No7
When Maine went to permitless-carry (aka "Constitutional Carry" here), I kept my permit because (a) It allows me to carry several places the others can't, but more importantly (b) I wouldn't lose the ability to carry if some moonbat administration repealed the permitless carry.

Re: Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
Are these stats for resident only permits, or include non-resident as well? Here on the East coast it is very common for people to have a resident permit in their state, and a non-resident from FLA, which has the largest reciprocity in this area. That might account for the large number (1.7M) for FLA.

Re: Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
Reciprocity is a topic that could be discussed and messed with for a long time without ever coming to a consensus.

Re: Concealed Carry by State in the U.S.
Reciprocity is the big question for sure.
We just went Constitutional carry in Missouri, but I intend to maintain my permit since we're now retired and travel more. Until there is national reciprocity it will always be a problem.
