2.4% of American Adults Carry All the Time...

[Double Naught Spy]

Here is an interesting poll. As a poll, it is fraught with the biases that come with such things, but the numbers don't seem unrealistic. It is interesting to see where someone has at least tried to address the issue of how often folks carry.

The basic gist is this...
12.3% of Americans sometimes carry handguns, 5.4% of Americans carry most or all the time, & 2.4% carry all the time

The article discusses things in more detail and has some pie charts.

Not surprised. 7% of gun owners in CO have a CCWP..

In my state the numbers are likely closer to 20%. In my county there are about 90K residents and there are about 20K CCL's issued at any time. That is just the people that carry legally. Practically every white male over the age of 50 carries at least one gun in his vehicle.

I carry 100% of the time where legal and avoid going places where I can't carry.
