Concealed Carry is Up

From the Article . . .

    Although white males are still the largest concealed carry permit-holding group, the number of permits obtained by blacks accelerated the most, with Asians and American Indians following in second.

    Between 2012 and 2014 the number of black permit holders increased from 10,389 to 17,594, according to the report.

    Black females were the fastest-growing concealed handgun permit group, increasing 3.44 times faster than white females.

    “The stereotype of the gun owner being a middle-aged male white guy from the South is simply not correct anymore,” Mr. Keene said.
