Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
We are getting closer to the magic 2 million!
Apparently, trying to “shame” people and keep them away from guns simply is not working. If I am reading this right, so far this year 198,134 new licenses have been issued.
And according to the profile report, women had a one percent uptick and are now 26% of the CWP population or 504,059 Ladies from Florida with a Concealed Weapons Permit.

Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Great!
Now lets all go out and find a non gun person and convert them to a gunny. Find a neighbor, or a colleague at work, someone at the gymn or church? Convince them to shoot a round of trap or skeet? Take them out to shoot a handgun or three at the range. Introduce them to Appleseed?
So out of nearly 2 Million CCW holders, 0.0087% lost their licenses for illegally using a gun.
Also, there are nearly twice as many CCWs in FL alone as there are total LEOs (local, state, and Federal) in the US (1.1 million).
OR
There are almost as many FL CCW as there are police and military COMBINED in the USA.
Tell me again how we’re the problem.
You are only using the active licenses… you have to include all licenses ever issued so we are talking out 3,942,198
12k denied due to disqualifying history, that’s a surprisingly large number. Does it mean those people were not legally authorized to be gun owners? If so, applying for a CCW permit seems like a bad idea. Or does FL have unusually sloppy rules for who may be denied?
So if there have been almost 200,000 licenses issued this year, that’s about 20 weeks so about 10,000 per week. We’re about 80,000 short, so in 8 weeks we’ll cross 2 Million. End of July or early August.
Cool!
