Where does your state stand on this 2025 gun ownership map?

[Talyn]

It's not about the number of guns owned, it's the percentage of the states' citizens that own a firearm.

I thought Texas would’ve been higher.
NJ would be higher if the thug guns of Newark and Camden were included.

I'm wondering if freedom Florida's numbers are affected by all the Northerners moving here or having a 2nd home here. I can't believe Florida is that low when we have a Freedom minded governor and even a number of Sheriffs who openly encourage gun ownership and usage. I'm disappointed, I think it's just another way out of state people are ruining my state. lol

jmo.

You forgot Bayonne.

 

[mikep]

You forgot Bayonne.

Bayonne is undergoing a revival just like Weehawken and Jersey City. Still wouldn’t want to live there.

You forgot Bayonne.

Paterson too. Back in the early to mid 20th-century, Paterson was a wealthy city.

AKA, "To protect myself and others." We know it, but they don't like non-islanders. I imagine ones with the most Hawaiian in them get approved.

The only state where reverse discrimination was fashionable before the current woke mess in the lower 48. Pay, promotion, and just general nastiness were their tools of choice. Back then there was an indoor gun range in the mall next to Hilton Hawaiian Village (I think). It was like going to the speak easy. You had to rent their guns of course.

MN is 43%…not really surprising. The problem in this state is that the more populated the area, the bluer it is. It sucks.

You must live in upper state. Gotta' admit, that's some nice country. You and the State of Jefferson must have something in common. I know an OLD Marine who lives in Albany. I was there around 1982 and it was nice. Not sure about now though.

I am NOT in northern Illinois, far from it.

Then you should know better!

Oregon higher than TX. In a way, doesn't surprise me. OTOH, I don't know Pew Research methodology. Are these percentages people who admit to owning a gun? The reality might be different.

where did they get the data?
no way only 46 percent of us texans, i bet they only surveyed austin
rule of thumb was 90% of all vehicles in texas are packing

Population of Oregon approximately 5 million. Population of Texas app. 32 million.

Also the map says percentage of people who own a gun, not how many each person owns.

 

[Belt Fed]

Nobody here owns a gun
