Number of Carry Permits in the
US Tops 15 Million in 2017

In July, 2016, the number of concealed carry permits in the United States was over 14.5 million and was growing rapidly during the election year. It's now over 15 million, and likely to go much higher. Starting with numbers from the Crime Prevention Research Center, there have been increases in all states where numbers were available.

The dozen states listed show actual figures and the increase from the numbers cited earlier in the CPRC study.... .......

There is little doubt that, encouragingly, the uptake of carry has been maintaining a gradual increase. Needless to say however there are still those states which stubbornly refuse to grant many of what should be every law abiding citizen's right to self defense - notably CA, HI, MD, DC, NJ etc. Further to that of course is that no one should be required to have an actual permit to to carry and exercize their rights.
