The number of Americans who leave their homes with a pistol or revolver on their person jumped from approximately three million in 2015 to six million in 2019, according to a study conducted by University of Washington researchers.
The Guardian reported the study on November 25, 2022, noting that it appeared in the American Journal of Public Health.

I have the Citizen app on my phone. Several times a week I see a notice that the police are responding to a call that a man has a gun. Carrying a gun is legal in NC.
I was someone walking beside the road with a pistol in his hand. It looked like he was trained in how to do so safely. I waved and went on.
Don't say "may become". Just do it.
I was about to make that very point. I'm sitting in my living room with my 9 mm in my pocket.
If you carry, don't tell anyone. If anything happens, better to do 6 rather than be carried by 6. As an I.T. manager, I suspected some of my crew carried but never inquired. I questioned some as to why they wanted to go to sites in pairs when only one tech was necessary to do the job. They invited me to come along. At a site, with angry young blacks milling around, my worker said to me "Your job is to watch my back as I get the equipment out of the van into the worksite.". My worker was a young tough black guy who lived in the ghetto. I was in a suit, and quickly understood why one would want to carry protection. After that, I allowed them to go out in pairs without questioning.
I’m one of them. And yes, I carry into Shitcago, violating Metra handgun bans and my employers ban as well. There’s a reason it’s called conceal-carry. If someone sees it, you ain’t doing it right.
I carried a gun for a couple of years in NYC. Of course, they’re only counting the people who do so legally, so I wasn’t part of any statistics.
with a pistol or revolver
Wait, all of a sudden a revolver can’t also be a pistol?
“Little secret : the number carrying away from home is much much higher.”
I think you are right.
Yup; nobody has ever asked me if I carry, wouldn’t tell if they did!
You just don’t have enough “WHITE PRIVILEGE”.
Considering half the states in the country now have Constitutional Carry, I’d bet the number who carry every day is considerably higher than 6 million. I’m one of them.
If that boating accident hadn’t happened but I do know where the boat sank
