From the time Colorado became a state in 1876 to 2013 I think Private Sales were legal.
I would be willing to bet that more than 45% of coloradans own guns.

So let’s keep this in perspective and look at the data another way - (actual number of gun owners!). Not going to do the math for all 50 States, but it certainly does give a different perspective. Texas being stuck with Democrat gun haters in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Austin certainly skews “percentage” of gun owners but cannot skew “total number” of gun owners.
2025 population estimates
Texas - 31,709,821 (46% = 14,586,517.66 gun owners)
Montana - 1,144,694 (66% = 755,498.04 gun owners)

WI here, and I'm kind of surprised the number is only 45%...Pretty much everyone I know has a least one firearm, and there is a LOT of hunting up here....
45%??? C'mon cheeseheads we're better than this LOL!

IMO, outside of the coastal cities, I imagine Kali is very blue. At least it was when I I fled to Utah in 2001. The left was predominant from San Diego to Eureka
Way too low. There's no records of guns bought at Gun Shows or private sales. A lot of Hunters here and they do buy Hunting rifles for their Families ay shows. The Amish buy a lot of rifles and shotguns at Gun Shows, no kidding. Never a handgun.

Same here. I honestly can tell a shooter from the Great Swamp of Illinois.

What firearms? I don’t know how they disembarked.

The farther south you go in Illinois the more you think you aren’t in Illinois. I used to live 30 minutes away from Wisconsin and moved farther south (just below I-80) and let me tell ya. It ain’t Kansas anymore heading to Iowa.
Come on down here by me and you would swear you went to heaven. Compared to some places in Illinois that is.

They need to get to the range and send some. Its a fun time and then you go buy some hardware, live a little …. Life is short.

Northeast corner of the state. I live in that crap show of a state. Northwest corner. Lol. 6 years and I'm moving!!!!
If this was a telephonic poll, I imagine a lot of firearm owners were hesitant to tell someone they own firearms. “Oh, sure, unknown person, I own lots of guns. Need my address for your poll?”.

I agree.
When I lived in IL I 74 was the line separating 2 different cultures and then crossing I 70 (I think) in Effingham continuing South on 57 was another culture change. I will state that I wasn't aware of anyone that didn't have at least, a firearm of some type.

Gotta wonder if only adults are included in the counting. Not sure my kids would include themselves as owners, which implies buying said gun. Except for the youngest who readily claimed 2 pistols upon firing them, “did you bring my SIG? where’s my .22?”.

South of I-64 there will be no questions about the “damn yankee” line having been crossed. The avatar says it all
