UPDATE: Our newest annual study is available here.

Original: The CPRC has new issue of our annual report on the number of concealed handgun permits in the US.  A copy of the report is available here.  Some updated numbers are shown at the bottom of this post.  Past reports can be viewed here.  Part of the executive summary is shown here:

During President Obama’s administration, the number of concealed handgun permits has soared to over 14.5 million – a 215% increase since 2007. Among the findings of our report:
■ The increase in the number of concealed handgun permits last year set another record, increasing by 1.73 million. That is slightly greater than previous record of 1.69 million set the last year.
■ 6.06% of the total adult population has a permit.
■ In ten states, more than 10% of adults have concealed handgun permits. Indiana has the highest rate — 15%. South Dakota is close behind with 14.7%.
■ Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas each have over a million residents who are active permit holders.
■ In another 11 states, a permit is no longer required to carry in all or virtually all of the state. Thus the growth in permits does not provide a full picture of the overall increase in concealed carry.
■ Between 2012 and 2016, in states that provide data by gender, the number of women with permits has increased twice as quickly as the number of men with permits.

UPDATE: A new report from Kansas provides another example of how the number of concealed handgun permits in a state can fall after a Constitutional Carry law is passed.  From the McPherson Sentinel (McPherson, Kansas):

The number of concealed carry applications made in Kansas has dropped again this year state-wide.

This decline comes on the heels of a legislative change in 2015 allowing eligible Kansans to carry concealed without a license. Between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, the Kansas Attorney General office’s Concealed Carry Licensing Unit received 5,874 applications. Compared with recent years, this marked a steep decline in new applications — there were 9,800 applications received in the prior year.

For Steve Sechler, owner of Treasure Chest Gun Shop, McPherson isn’t matching these declines. The store offers concealed carry licensing classes and other gun ownership education classes, and enrollment rates are rising.

“. . . Now, people are starting to realize they need the education with it, so they’re taking the class now and it’s picked back up,” Sechler said. . . . .

WPRI.com (Channel 12) has updated numbers for Rhode Island at the end of 2015 of 3,577 (70 percent of the permits, 2.489, were issued by the Attorney General’s office).

Shooting Illustrated, September 9, 2016

An analysis conducted by the Indianapolis Star and published Sept. 2 indicated that in 2012, there were 92,000 concealed-carry permits issued to female Hoosiers, but by the beginning of 2016, there were more than 174,000 women with a valid carry license.

In the first three months of 2016, more than 50,000 concealed-carry licenses were issued to Indiana residents, more than half the number issued in all 12 months of 2015, the Star reported. If Indiana continues that pace for the year, they will have issued more than double the number from the previous year.

“Anytime there is an issue in the news where politicians are talking about limiting people’s right to bear arms, that proportionally usually results in an increase in people buying licenses to carry,” Indiana State Police Capt. Dave Bursten told the newspaper. . . .

    Yes!! I love Indiana! We’re #1!! 🙂
    Had my IN LTCH since I was 18 & now have our lifetime license!

    • Al_Bing WI

      Indiana offers a lifetime LTCH and no training required, only a background check. Could this be the reason for the high rate?

    • Phred

      South Dakota is right on your heels Dan. We don’t have as many people but still prepared.

  2. Cauthon

    It is said that there were “several hundred” people in that club in Orlando. If even 1% – let alone the 10% or more that we see in the real world – of those had been armed, they would have outnumbered the shooter by “several” to 1, and there is strength in numbers. One way to identify a really enthusiastic ideological advocate for gun control is if they can look at such a terrible scene of blood and carnage and say it’s a good thing that none of those people had a gun, or somebody might have got hurt. I have heard that mass shootings like that decrease more than ordinary crime when we pass a shall-issue concealed carry law; perhaps that is because the ordinary criminal depends on the criminal enterprise for their income, while the mass murderer could just decide not to do it and suffer no economic loss.

    • Rick

      Cauthon, the problem with your statement, despite being a statement of a fact I truly believe in, the Pulse nightclub was/is a gun-free zone. We will probably never know how many of the dead, let alone the number of patrons overall, had their weapon in the car. Sadly, but true, legal gun owners/gun carriers follow the law and thus were unarmed.

      • confirm

        As A Florida CCW permit holder, I have to explain that we may not enter an establishment that serves alcohol with our side arms. However, in light of that evening, more CCW are sneaking their side arms in as a safety measure.

      • Smith

        Firearms / nightclub (or bar, saloon, tavern)… Maybe not the best combo

      • Keith L. Beaubien

        Thank you Rick for making that clear for I was ready to comment on that The Pulse along with all other bars/night clubs are prohibited from legal carry. I’ve seen so many statements saying “if” they had someone with their firearm, there wouldn’t have been so many murdered.

      • N.J.

        A gun free zone in a club that sells liquor will have a sign prohibiting gun carry….But if that club is in a c.c.w. state, the state law supercedes that club regulation..That regulation is stated to keep liability off the club establishment..They have a right not to let you enter if you have a firearm, which they probably check person at door entry..THE GUN is part of my body , if I cannot enter with it, I JUST DONT ENTER…I refuse to be PREY…

    • Brad

      In case you didn’t already know, liberals think that if concealed carriers were present they would have done nothing more than shoot several more innocent people. That’s how incredibly ignorant they actually are. To them, guns are used for only one thing, murder. And if you ever ask one of the idiots, they’ll swear that no gun has EVER saved anyone.

    • Mark Patterson

      This is my personal experience. I have been a cab driver in the city if Des Moines, Iowa for many years. From 1986 to 1993 the already danerous job of driving in our local conditions was compounded by the fact the bad folks were almost fearless. Drivers were kidnapped, ripped off, even injured severely or killed on a regular basis. In 2008 our legislature passed “Shall Issue,” taking the decision to issue permits out of the hands of the local political machines. I got back i the business in 2011 and noticed the bad folks were suddenly, even amazingly, polite.
      Now, instead of being considered a source to fund the next party, cabbies are considered professionals that try their best to give you a safe ride to where ever you need to go. And the bad guys even started tipping accordingly!
      While I will never confirm or deny the presense of nuclear wepons aboard my or any other naval vessal…..

    In Orlando, with all those people, they could have ATTACKED the shooter. If you are going to die anyway, attacking with chairs, bottles, etc is better than just wimping out! Even Dr. Carson suggested this. Have we become a nation of cowards?

    • Peter Melville

      There is truth to that. Why not go down fighting? Some people can react and function even under fire, others freeze and are unable to move.

  4. Shield Defense

    Surprised FL and TX not in the top ten.
    CCW attitudes are certainly changing over the last few years. Concealed Carry is more accepted, especially in light of terrorism threats; both Islamic and from thugs.

  5. ok

    We need to eliminate GFZs OR ADD CCW license holders as an exception.

    There’s no reason the police should be able to carry in schools, etc., while a SAFER and MORE law-abiding group cannot.

    It’s ridiculous.

  6. Rob Poole

    Gee big surprise, when the Constitutional Right to keep and bear arms is universal, then less folks have to go through the red tape to get a concealed carry permit.

    Yet more folks actually carry as the COST WENT DOWN. this is econ 101.

  7. Fred Miller

    “Surprised FL and TX not in the top ten”

    As far as Texas is concerned, the cost of obtaining a permit is probably a big factor. Unless you qualify for one of the discounts, a Texas LTC will cost you just short of $300! A lot of people just can’t afford to pay that much money for a “privilege” that should be free.

  8. Randy Dutton

    I’m trying to get Emergency Management in Washington State to give CPL holders an opt-in to be part of an augmented security force in the event of a megaquake and tsunami here along the Western Washington coast. We’re told help from the Feds is over 2 weeks away whilst they concentrate on helping Seattle area.

    I almost never leave remarks, however i did some searching and wound up here New Study: Over
    14.5 million concealed handgun permits, last year saw the largest increase ever in the number of permits – Crime Prevention Research CenterCrime Prevention Research Center.
    And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Could it be only me or does it look as if like some of the responses come
    across as if they are written by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to follow anything
    new you have to post. Would you list of every one of all your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

    This map makes me angry: Why isn’t Utah green? Why?!?

    Of course, I wish the entire map were green, but as a resident of Utah who’s seen efforts to get Constitutional Carry here, I can’t help but be frustrated by how the efforts to establish Constitutional Carry has been thwarted several times these past several years…
