Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Just curious - What % of the public is armed in your community?

Just left the grocery store... then grabbed a burger at the local FF joint on the way home.

Passed maybe a dozen folks at the grocery store that I know always carry at least one firearm.

Only 7 people at the burger joint... all were armed.

About 35%-45% at my church...

Gives a man a good sense/comfort thinking on this... no particular reason... it just crossed my mind.

Your community?

Estimating is fine...

I would say 80%. Good guy a mall was carrying and took out bad gut about a month ago here in Indiana. I carry everywhere I go.

I really have no idea but, most people in my area have guns. I don't know anybody in my area, that's anti gun.

In my county, probably over 90%.

If I had to estimate how many adults who can carry do carry, I would estimate about 30% based on what I've seen so far. Lynchburg Virginia.

Surrounding counties? 80% at least. Probably lowballing that number.

Carrying?
Not a whole lot.
Violence in this area is either consensual physical stuff or among the
low life element.

Few homes are unarmed, most male operated vehicles, a lot of female ones have a gun.

I am, I don't know and I don't care. But I believe a well armed society is a polite society.

50% the good 50%.

I had ready that 90% of the homes in my county have at least one firearm. Before the state went Constitutional carry, I had ready 67% of adults had a concealed pistol permit.

How would i know?... But i suspect not as many as there should be... Complacency...

I would say over 90% have guns at home, not sure about carry don't see any open carry .

I would say, out here in the country where I live, within a radius of a couple of miles from where I am sitting all the way around me ... 100%.

100%

No doubt. It's 99.9% Caucasian conservative and the .1 of African Americans near here are solid people.

100%

We don't have Constitutional Carry but it's fairly easy to get a permit .... we do have open carry and I've seen a lot more of that around here lately since the law passed.

I'm still gonna conceal mine but at least I no longer have to worry about printing or accidentally showing a firearm on my hip. I just prefer to keep it concealed.

Many carry here. Fairly discreet. As far as having guns, they are quite plentiful.

In Chicago, it's probably at least 50%.

Rural area here. Most every home has firearms. Deer opener is a school holiday. A Democrat couldn’t get elected dog catcher. Concealed carry is of course an estimate, but I’d say not over 10% at any given time. Probably even less.

Proll could get that answered with a fair degree of certainty if youre ANTIFA/blm in a leftist locality with state laws that don’t comply with communist doctrines.

Hell they’ll likely be making lists of said citizens public before long.

Since Ohio now has constitutional carry, I’d say 50%. Not many open carry. I don’t blame them. Don’t like showing my hand until it’s time.

Finally a man with some common sense. I never open carry. You are just inviting trouble.

My state supposedly leads the U.S. in the percentage of residents who own firearms, partly because half the adult males hunt, and many women too. But a lot of people carry every day, and probably even more since we recently became constitutional carry.

Wae at service station on edge of town and a guy was open carrying. No one paid any attention. Most folks have a gun in their truck. Lots carry.
