Encyclopedia Britannica relying on CPRC research

Media Discussion on CPRC

It is nice to see the Encyclopedia Britannica relying on the CPRC’s research.

. . . On Nov. 21, 2020, the Crime Prevention Research Center stated, “There were 2.7 million concealed handgun permit holders in 1999, 4.6 million in 2007, 8 million in 2011, 11.1 million in 2014, and now 19.48 million in 2020,” however, “[s]ixteen states have adopted constitutional carry for their entire state, meaning that a permit is no longer required. Because of these constitutional carry states, the nationwide growth in permits does not paint a full picture of the overall increase in concealed carry.”

  • Concealed handguns deter crime.
  • Carrying a concealed gun keeps the individual carrying the gun and the public safer.
  • Concealed handguns protect women and minorities who can’t always rely on the police for protection.
