The NRA-ILA reported figures from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) showing there are over 19.48 million concealed carry permit holders in the USA, including 820,000 permit holders who were added in 2019 alone.

Good. Let's double or triple that.

That’s roughly 1 in 15 people. I’d prefer it be much higher. Like 200,000,000.

That’s roughly 1 in 15 people. I’d prefer it be much higher. Like 200,000,000.

So that's 20,000,000 permits and let's say we have about 200,000,000 million adults 18+ who are probably of sound enough mind and body to be capable to carry a pistol. That's like 1 in 10 citizens

Then,


Also take into account that there are states that are "constitutional carry" and no permit is needed. So the percentage of "potentially armed adults" is even higher.

Perhaps even as high as 1 in 9 adults are mentally and physically capable and can be carrying.

Obviously in rural locations the percentage is higher and in urban areas lower, but that's a good start.

How many permits in Chicago? No voter ID no need for government permission to exercise a right.
