    Default Census information

    I am curious to find out what the percentage of gun ownership is in my county. (Or even how many people have their concealed.) I have visited my local Sheriff's website, but I couldn't find anything relating to gun ownership at all. There are numbers listed for number of licenses issued to conceal, but even those statistics ended after 2007. I'm hoping that someone will be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you!

    finished the most recent Census form, and not a single question as to firearms ownership. I cannot imagine that even if they were asking that stuff that it would get them valid data.

    There is NO accurate numbers on how many folks own guns, and there will never be. The only way to accurate numbers is to poll 100% of the population, and for 100% of that population to give an honest answer.

    You can get the LTCF statistics from the State Police. Or here http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=322828

    The PSP also logs the number of handguns and long guns transferred via FFL's across the state.

    I used to have a .22 single shot, but lost it in a unfortunate boating accident. . .

    Damn, your aloud to own guns? That just shouldn't be. Let me ask the guys on the MAC to see what I should think about that.

    Cambria county? I should HOPE that the percentage is near 100%.

    Maybe a little less if you count naive college students and members of the media.
