In 2017 the number of permit holders grew by a record 1.83 million. That\u2019s more than the previous record increase of 1.73 million, set just the year before.<\/p>\n<p>States have issued a total of 16.3 million concealed carry permits, which represents approximately 6.53 percent of American adults. In light of the CBS News poll, this statistic indicates that a much larger number of Americans support concealed carry than actually hold permits. If only 6.5 percent of Americans possess a permit. Then, the majority of the 29 percent of Americans who support arming law-abiding citizens do not hold permits themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The concealed carry movement, in other words, encompasses a much larger segment of the population than those who have made the decision to carry a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>Also of note is the fact that \u201cstricter gun laws\u201d falls in third place behind \u201cbetter mental health screenings\u201d and \u201ctougher sentences on criminals\u201d for solutions to gun violence. While 32 percent of Americans believe gun violence is a \u201ccrisis\u201d and 37 percent believe the problem is \u201cvery serious,\u201d they do not believe that restricting Second Amendment rights is the best solution.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gun-Violence.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cbs-poll-concealed-carry-gun-violence\" title=\"CBS Poll: Nearly 30% of Americans Believe Concealed Carry would Help Prevent Gun Violence\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"CBS Poll: Nearly 30% of Americans Believe Concealed Carry would Help Prevent Gun Violence\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gun-Violence.jpg\" alt=\"CBS Poll: Nearly 30% of Americans Believe Concealed Carry would Help Prevent Gun Violence\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gun-Violence.jpg 620w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gun-Violence-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gun-Violence-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The survey also found that political affiliation affects one\u2019s perception of gun violence in the U.S. Democrats were three times more likely to call gun violence a \u201ccrisis.\u201d But, strangely enough, Republicans were more likely to call the problem \u201cvery serious.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Politics.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cbs-poll-concealed-carry-gun-violence\" title=\"CBS Poll: Nearly 30% of Americans Believe Concealed Carry would Help Prevent Gun Violence\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"CBS Poll: Nearly 30% of Americans Believe Concealed Carry would Help Prevent Gun Violence\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Politics.jpg\" alt=\"CBS Poll: Nearly 30% of Americans Believe Concealed Carry would Help Prevent Gun Violence\" width=\"620\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Politics.jpg 620w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Politics-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Politics-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Politics also determines whether or not one believes gun laws should be stricter.

First, nearly one in every three Americans are willing to take responsibility for their own personal safety. Law enforcement cannot be everywhere at once. But the Second Amendment allows Americans to protect themselves until the authorities can arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Second, as with many issues in 2017, views on guns and gun violence are becoming increasingly politicized. Many Americans still take the time to research the facts. But an increasing number of people are willing to believe whatever their favorite politicians tell them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new poll from CBS News indicates that on
