    The latest figures state that 4.8% of Americans legally carry concealed firearms. In my State California the most populous State 35,000 have concealed permits. That is .12% of the total population. A lot of Americans own firearms roughly 40% of the population, but few actually carry their hoglegs with them. Even counting illegal carriers, I seriously doubt it is more than about 10%, and 'ace with all due respect you don't have a clue what gives in this country. I don't carry or even own a gun, do not feel the least bit threatened, and I believe the vast majority of my family, and network of friends feel the same way. Now Florida...... those people are wack with their gun laws, and not representative of the majority of U.S.
    In 2012, the share of American households with guns was 34 percent, according to survey results released on Thursday. Researchers said the difference compared with 2010, when the rate was 32 percent, was not statistically significant. The findings contrast with the impression left by a flurry of news reports about people rushing to buy guns and clearing shop shelves of assault rifles after the massacre last year at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
    “There are all these claims that gun ownership is going through the roof,” said Daniel Webster, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. “But I suspect the increase in gun sales has been limited mostly to current gun owners. The most reputable surveys show a decline over time in the share of households with guns.”
