Gun Ownership by state

[DrHenley]

Yeah it's probably simply indicative of gun attitudes in the states. Heck, Mississippi is probably overstated because some people are too ashamed to admit they DON'T have a gun (Mississippi's State Motto is Virtue et Armis - by Valor and Arms)

But Texas has a reputation to uphold after all! You wouldn't Texicans would be shy about owning up to having a gun in the house. Houston is probably skewing the numbers.

Maybe the only thing the survey shows is that states with mainly rural populations have a higher percentage of gun ownership (or a higher percentage willing to admit to gun ownership) than states with big cities. DUH!
