Good catch, Marktwain. Interesting too, that the -lowest- number of accidental deaths is after the -highest- spike of private gun sales in our nation’s history. I have wondered who was buying them. Looks like they are going into the right hands. May also reflect more thorough training and general information as a by product of the spread of conceal carry jurisdictions in the US.
I had the same thought. With 48 states having some form of concealed carry option (49 when the Wisconsin bill is signed on 8 July), More citizens are familiar with firearms on a daily basis.
