<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of daily gun carriers increased from three million in 2015 to six million in 2019 according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study also concludes that 16 million Americans carry at least once a month \u2013 up from nine million in 2015.\u00a0 The researchers used data from previously existing surveys and compared them to the most current data \u2013 a survey from 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous surveys were completed in 1994, 1995, 1996, and 2015. In each survey, 2,000 gun owners from around the country participated in sharing their gun usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1994, 46% of respondents cited personal protection — as opposed to sports shooting or hunting — as their reason for carrying. By 2015, that number jumped up to 65% — and as of 2019, it reached 73%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that there is little doubt that self-defense is the primary reason Americans bear arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, data from 2019 may not reflect carry habits over the past two years as the COVID-19 pandemic radically changed everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans, for example, were instructed by the gov’t<\/a> to stay indoors for protracted periods and may not have left their home, let alone carried outside their home, for weeks or months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, indicate 2020 and 2021 were record years<\/a> for gun sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while many Americans may not have been able to carry in public due to lockdown mandates, many were interested in ensuring they had arms on hand come what may. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the NSSF\u00a0estimates<\/a>\u00a0that there were 4.5 million first-time gun buyers in 2021, and 8.4 million in 2020. That\u2019s almost 13 million new gun owners added to the ranks in a two-year span. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Joyce Foundation<\/a>, a \u201cprivate, nonpartisan philanthropy,\u201d focused on “ending gun violence” provided partial funding for the research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr.Ali Rowhani-Rahbar led the research team which ultimately concluded that there is no statistical difference between permitless carry states and shall-issue states with the exception that 10% of carriers in shall-issue states carried “illegally.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Rowhani-Rahbar noted the importance of the study in light of the Supreme Court Ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen<\/a> <\/em>on November 3rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis ruling could further catalyze the loosening of firearm-carrying regulations in different parts of the country at a time when, as our study indicates, trends in handgun carrying already point to more US adults carrying loaded handguns in public places, including without a permit when a permit is required,\u201d Rowhani-Rahbar stated in the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe effect of this loosening on firearm ownership and carrying as well as public safety and public health should be an important subject of research in the future,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you notice your friends and family carrying more often? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
