The numbers are a lot better, but I bet it's still not more than single digit % every day carry rate amongst gun owners in most places. At least the total number of owners is growing so that % is more meaningful, but it's still not enough. While those states have a WAY higher guns/capita rate than new england does, doesn't mean those people are carrying a handgun. In that regard its no different than MA... what do we have, like 250, 300K LTC holders? Out of those, how many you want to bet carry on a regular basis? I bet the number is less than 5%, and that's being generous.
