Over 12.8 million Concealed handgun permits now in US

Since President Obama’s election the number of concealed handgun permits has soared, growing from 4.6 million in 2007 to over 12.8 million this year. Among the findings in our report:
The number of concealed handgun permits is increasing at an ever- increasing rate. Over the past year, 1.7 million additional new permits have been issued – a 15.4% increase in just one single year. This is the largest ever single-year increase in the number of concealed handgun permits.
5.2% of the total adult population has a permit.
Five states now have more than 10% of their adult population withconcealed handgun permits.
In ten states, a permit is no longer required to carry in all or virtually all ofthe state. This is a major reason why legal carrying handguns is growing somuch faster than the number of permits.
Since 2007, permits for women has increased by 270% and for men by 156%. Over that period, there was a 178% increase in total permits.
Some evidence suggests that permit holding by minorities is increasing more than twice as fast as for whites.

Obama has been a gold mine for the gun and ammo industry

I'm all for people owning and carrying guns but this graph doesn't really make the case for me.
I'm sure the number of Priuses on the road has also increased in that same timeframe and also has almost nothing to do with the murder rate.

Concealed carry might have nothing to do with the murder rate, but there is a good chance that it does.

Its not about the rise in CCL's directly leading to the drop in murder rates. Just shows that anti-gun crowd was inherently wrong about what the expansion of CCL laws would do. Graph does show that blood has not run in the streets as many anti-gunners predicted the opposite would happen.

Very true. Those knee jerk reactions were wrong.

Yep, I agree. An armed society is a polite society.

Renewed mine for 5 years yesterday. Glad Alabama lets you do that now and not have to go in every year.

Will have mine by the end of May.

Won't need a permit in Mississippi much longer.

When open carry passed here in Texas I guess a lot of folks thought there would be shoot outs in the streets.

Gun-control advocates have been making that claim since "shall issue" CCW permitting began expanding almost three decades ago.

Nothing has been more abused by issuing authorities than "shall issue" especially in Louisiana.

That map is not accurate although I know you didnt create it. Alabama was a may issue until 2013.
