Do You Have a CCW Permit?

[deputybpfife]

Does anybody have, or know whre I can find, state-by-state and/or county-by-county statistics of the percentage of citizens with their CCWs? One of my friends told me that they thought that our county of Phelps has 3%. I was just curious more than anything.

I hope not. Nobody's business but yours.

These statistics are publicly available as raw numbers, just wasn't sure about percenatges. I was wondering how many in a room of 100 were possibly carrying.

Got my CA CCW over 2 years ago and just renewed it a few months ago for another 2 years. Sent in my app/fingerprints/etc for the Utah and Arizona non-resident CCW's and should be getting them in a couple of months, so I can carry in 36 states. I do travel often enough for my work.

For the few who don't know about this CCW reciprocity map by state:

And here's a CCW app that I have on my Android smartphone, pretty handy:

Current EDC is a Glock 23; sometimes a G27 depending on the needs. But this will soon change to a CBOB and have already ordered IWB and OWB holsters.

Right of the mag pouch is a Taser C2, for those less-than-lethal situations.

A good question to keep the bad guys guessing about, imho. I've had my permit for a couple of years now and should've pulled the trigger on it long ago. First five-year renewal comes up in May of '16, I believe.

Permit for concealed carry is not necessary in Vermont!!

I do, however, have permits for NH and CT, which enables me to carry in many states....unfortunately, there are many "commie" states in the Northeast, which prevent me from carrying where I most need to....large urban areas.

Yep, I have one. I got my FL CWFL in 1993. In addition, several years ago I got my retired LEO credentials (when the agency I retired from started issuing them), and I am qualified (and certified annually, at least) under the LEOSA of 2004, also known as HR218. So, I have what amounts to a 50 state CCW permit, even though there are some states where I'd be reluctant to carry, like NJ, NY, and IL (I don't plan on going there anyway). In FL, if you have a CWFL, you don't have to go through the waiting period to buy a firearm, however, if you are LEO, or retired LEO with ID, you have to wait.

My EDV varies, depending on what I'm doing and my clothing - anything from a Keltec P3AT pocket pistol, up to my 1911, to include a S&W M&P 40 Shield, a S&W 642 snubby, or a Glock 27.

I honestly can't remember when I started carrying. Used to open carry a Ruger security six to go snake hunting with friends at sixteen. Went in the Navy at 19 and when I landed in Wa. state in 78' got my 1st CCW. So what's that Hmmm... 36? To damn long ago to remember... anyway I've always had a soft spot for the 1911, packed a variety of iron but always come back to the best.
