At 2.3% growth over 2021, that is the slowest percent and absolute increase that we have seen since we started collecting this data in 2011. Part of that is due to the number of permits declining in the Constitutional Carry states even though it is clear that more people are legally carrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 8.5% of American adults have permits. Outside of the restrictive states of California and New York, about 10.2% of adults have a permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 In seventeen states, more than 10% of adults have permits. Since 2019, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota have fallen below 10%, but they are now all Constitutional Carry states, meaning that people no longer need a permit to carry. The concealed carry rates for Connecticut, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have risen to above 10% this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 Alabama has the highest concealed carry rate \u2014 32.5%. Indiana is second with 23.4%, and Georgia is third with 15.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/taran-tactical-terminal-list-glock-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"there-are-now-more-than-22-million-concealed-handgun-permits-nationwide-says-cprc\" title=\"There Are Now More than 22 Million Adults with Concealed Handgun Permits Nationwide, Says CPRC\">Taran Tactical Terminal List Glock 19<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 Six states now have over 1 million permit holders: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Florida is the top states with 2.57 million permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 Twenty-five 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. Many residents still choose to obtain permits so that they can carry in other states that have reciprocity agreements, but while permits are increasing in the non-Constitutional Carry states, they fell in the Constitutional Carry ones even though more people are clearly carrying in those states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25a0 In 2022, women made up 29.2% of permit holders in the 15 states that provide data by gender, an increase from the 28.3% last year. Seven states had data from 2012 to 2021\/2022, and permit numbers grew 115.4% faster for women than for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">**<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data collected in this year\u2019s report showed the number increasing by 488,000, bringing the total to 22.01 million!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":170721,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-170718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>There Are Now More than 22 Million Adults with Concealed Handgun Permits Nationwide, Says CPRC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Data collected in this year\u2019s report showed the number increasing by 488,000, bringing the total to 22.01 million!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/there-are-now-more-than-22-million-concealed-handgun-permits-nationwide-says-cprc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"There Are Now More than 22 Million Adults with Concealed Handgun Permits Nationwide, Says CPRC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Data collected in this year\u2019s report showed the number increasing by 488,000, bringing the total to 22.01 million!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/there-are-now-more-than-22-million-concealed-handgun-permits-nationwide-says-cprc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-11-22T17:57:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-08T11:46:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-22-at-11.21.58-AM.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1428\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"968\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
