New Concealed Carry Report For 2020: 19.48 Million Permit Holders (Truncated Title)

During President Trumps administration, the number of concealed handgun permits has soared to over 19.48 million a 34% increase over 2016. However, while gun sales have set records in 2020, the growth in concealed handgun permits has slowed as many states shutdown their issuance of new permits. Unlike gun ownership surveys that may be affected by peoples unwillingness to answer personal questions, concealed handgun permit data is the only really hard data that we have. Seventeen states no longer provide data on all the people who are legally carrying a concealed handgun because people in those states no longer need a permit to carry.

This report from Dr. John Lott has a great deal of information about the growth in concealed carry permits across the country. (The number of CCW permit holders has increased by 820,000 people in just the last year). He also provides details and insights regarding the demographic profiles of the people who are getting permits.

Basically, one in about seventeen people have the cow permit. This number does not include places that do not require a permit

As an aside, there is an indoor pistol shooting range near me. Its open to the public. Awhile back I wandered into the place, just to see what was going on. Every person on the firing line was a woman. Every last one of them.

In Massachusetts you need to know somebody...or contribute to certain politicians. A few years ago SCOTUS overturned a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (the state's highest court) on a 2nd Amendment case.
And they did so by a 9-0 vote.
That shows ya how much contempt the state's officials have for 2A.

In Arkansas, an Open Carry State, one must still have a permit to carry concealed.

Who can blame them? It's a good idea for law abiding women to be armed.God knows that,particularly today,the cops aren't gonna be there when needed.

19 million permitted carry people and another 119 million who just forgot to ask for permits
anyone walking or driving around in many American cities without protection nowadays since the DNC unleashed their Burn, Loot, and Murder (and Antifa) gangsters and storm troopers on us
is just nuts

MS where I live is a Constitutional Carry State allowing both Concealed and Open Carry.
I still applied for and received a CCW so I can Carry in the other 30 or so Reciprocal States.

I wouldn’t use the sum population of the United States, aged 0 and above as the demoninator. I’d use households. Yeah, you might find a few cases with two permit holders in a family, but rarely.

IMO the Unites States Congress is the only legislative entity that is allowed to regulate firearms in *any* way.And,of course,any legislation they pass is subject to scrutiny by Federal courts...sidestepping the thousands of petty little dictators in the states’ courts.
