Correct but... How many persons in each household? Do the numbers include those States where no license is necessary? How would they know?

Let's look at one State of 50 in the USA... Florida.

850,000 have a concealed, Carry in Public, handgun license. We know who they are.

All, excepting some, have the Right, no license necessary, to have handguns, shotguns, rifles in their homes. All, excepting some, have the Right, no license necessary, to have a non visible and loaded handgun in their car. Include rifles in vehicles which must be visible. Add gang members, rapists, murderers. convicted felons, et al, who possess firearms.

What is the real number of Floridians who have firearms?

Now add Texas...


Clyde, why add Texas?

You guys are #1 in 'concealed carry' permits... and your figure (850000) is a bit out of date (2011). Last figure I saw was around 1.4 Million. Not bad for a State with less than 21 Million people.

In Texas, we are #2 (but it is a close race with Pennsylvania). We have about 1.1 Million permits out of a population of about 29 Million. But you are comparing Apples and Oranges... Our 'Permits', in addition to allowing 'concealed' carry of handguns ALSO allow OPEN carry.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

Yeah, right. After the area was secured more than likely :-)

Sigh...
Doing a stupid thing like that is probably something he learnt when he was a cadet attending the New York Military Academy, NYMA .
http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-attended-new-york-military-academy-2016-12?r=US&IR=T
Trump's parents shipped their 13-year-old son off to NYMA when he began acting up and it became a problem. Some 50 years later, Trump would tell his biographer that his five years' education there gave him more military training than the military could.

I wonder how those 2nd amendment supporters would react to being on the wrong end of an AR-15 (talk is cheap), but it does show that they don't give a shite for their kids and grandkids in the end.

Cheers.

Oh how precious. A future military officer in training. Wait till those anti-gun nuts need protection from the aggressors and have to come crawling on their knees begging for someone, anyone, to save their sorry butts. Or so thinks the NRA/right wing nutz/religious fundamentalists/etc

Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, a Republican, vowed Monday to kill any tax break for Delta, which is headquartered in Atlanta, unless the airline revived its discount program.

“Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back,” Cagle said.

What a violation of the First Amendment

How can conservatives back corporate welfare? That seems like an oxymoron to me.

Far far worse. Now you have a government official telling you who you must associate with and who you can't. Telling you what you can say and what you can't. It is called dictatorship. The Lt. Gov. needs to be tried, convicted -- a foregone conclusion -- and then suffer violations of his Eighth amendment rights.

It seems several made wrong assumptions. The biggest from the "Great Blonde Chief". Run into the school even if unarmed? This coming from a man who ran from his responsibilities. How many times was he bankrupt? Pretty sure that someone somewhere can come up with the perfect blonde joke :-)
