Each year brings a new record increase in the number of concealed handgun permits. The rate of growth in permits among women and minorities has far outpaced growth among white men. The data paint a picture of incredibly law-abiding permit holders, the vast majority living outside America’s insular media capitals.
A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center shows that there are now more than 16.3 million concealed handgun permits in the U.S., up 1.83 million since last July. Far more people carry guns today than in 2007, when there were only 4.6 million permits. Thirteen states now no longer require a permit to carry in all or most of the state. Eight of those 13 states made the change in the last two years.
Did the antigun agendas of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton drive demand? Maybe not. The growth in permits has hardly slowed since the election.
Women are largely fueling the increase. Among the eight states that had data from 2012-16, permits for men grew by 22% and permits for women soared by 93%. In the 14 states with 2016 data on sex, women now make up 36% of permit holders.
Over those same years, the number of blacks with permits increased 30% faster than the number of whites with permits. Blacks now make up 11% of permit holders. A few states provide a breakdown for Asian-Americans, and in those states they accounted for the largest percentage increase in permits.
The numbers show how out of sync the media capitals—California, New York and the District of Columbia—are with the rest of the country. In those places, where public officials decide who get permits, only a few adults out of every thousand have permits, mostly in rural counties. In the rest of the U.S., . . .

That is fine because their primary purpose for a CCW permit is self-defense and home protection. They also have clean records as they all have to undergo a background check. The course teaches the safe and proper handling of firearms.
SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “black leaders” line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.

Instant respect. Don’t fool around on them unless you’re open to other men.
What is that supposed to mean?
Thanks to a coworker I get it. If a black woman has a means, any means, to keep hubbie on the straight and narrow she should can would use it. In a very broad stereotypical statement black women do not always engender respect from their male counter parts. Add any lingering racial and gender issues and they can have it rough in our society. That’s why I say welcome to the NRA. God made them and Samuel Colt made them equal!
My range is kind of a ghetto range, so I often find myself around black shooters, or people dipping their toe in.
Funny thing, it takes black folks about five minutes around white American gun folks before they realize they’ve been lied to about many things.
But isn't that cultural appropriation?
the communists and socialists like to take power and then pass lots of illegal laws restricting the sheeple...
or, in this case, effectively rendering millions of American citizens subject to governmental harassment or citation or even arrest....pretty much at the whim of those in power
but Americans will continue to defend themselves and their communities, illegal “permit” systems or otherwise,
the “permit” statistics probably only capture maybe 10 percent
