The number of Americans who leave their homes with a pistol or revolver on their person jumped from approximately three million in 2015 to six million in 2019, according to a study conducted by University of Washington researchers.
The Guardian reported the study on November 25, 2022, noting that it appeared in the American Journal of Public Health.
The study’s lead author, epidemiology professor Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, views the increase in carry as the natural outgrowth of a years-long evolution whereby Americans have spent less and less time buying guns for hunting and recreation and more and more time buying guns for self-defense.
Last I heard Maryland state police have received something like 80,000 applications since july, and the SCOTUS ruling.
Marylander’s are finally joining the ranks
No Thanks to Maryland !!! They were MADE to do it by the Court !!!!!
What’s the difference between a pistol and a revolver?
There should be more than that. It would cut down on crime a lot!
