I was just doing some thinking about alot of our firearms related issues here in CT. I was also doing alot of thinking about peoples perceptions of firearms here in CT. I was hoping to run some quick numbers and was hoping someone here would know if some of these figures are correct (ballpark)
In CT we have a population of about 3,500,000 people
About 25% of that number are under 18 years old. (Can't find figures for under 21.)
So that leaves about 2,625,000 people in CT over 18.
Last I heard there were about 150,000 pistol and revolver carry permits active.
So by crude ballpark math we are looking at about 5.7 (let's call it 6% for over 21) of our over 18 population has a valid pistol permit to carry.
Does this sound correct?
