That number is a little inflated. It is closer to 6% and a lot of those are out of state non-resident license. There are a little over 19.1 million people in the state and the licenses were a little over the 1 million mark (1,137,510), out of that there are 144,518 non-resident/out of state licensees (12% of the total) http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/stats/cw_active.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;ATDM wrote:I learned today that almost 10% of the population in Florida has a concealed carry permit. If you take out everyone under 21, the percentage is even higher.
On the other hand, LESS THAN 2% of Texans have a CHL. I was shocked that we had so few CHL holders to begin with, but to be beaten by Florida was like putting salt on the wound.
How did this happen?
