New Study Finds Explosion In Concealed Carry Permits, Especially Among Women
New research from economist and author John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center reveals that Americans have been applying for permits to carry concealed weapons (CCW) in record numbers, especially women.
According to Lott, there were 890,000 CCW permits issued in 2017, while 4.6 million have been issued between 2007 and 2018, according to official state records – meaning 2017 saw a jump of nearly 24% in one year.
“We have seen an increase from 4.6 million permits in 2007 to 17.25 million now, with the number increasing every year,” Lott – the author of the highly cited book More Guns, Less Crime told Fox News.
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 17.25 million in 2017. The growth in permits has been continuous. –Crime Prevention Research Center
“The states that we have seen a slowing of permits have primarily been these Constitutional Carry states where a permit is no longer required, indeed some of those states have even seen a drop in the number of permits even though the number of people carrying in those places has undoubtedly gone up,” added Lott.
The report also notes that despite the common assumption that CCW applications would drop off after the 2016 election, quite the opposite has happened.
“Conventional wisdom held that the sharp rise in gun sales during Obama’s presidency was driven, at least in part, by the threat of guns control,” the study says. “That’s why everyone expected gun sales to decline after Trump’s victory.”
Other highlights:
The number of women and minorities with CCW permits has continued to rise, with black and Asian women leading the pack.
Interest in CCW permits has corresponded to various mass shootings, as Lott illustrates on page 40.
After 2014, the murder rate began to climb with the rate of CCW holders, however an increase in violent crimes was comparatively muted:
