So, even if the residents don't have LTCFs, you can rest assured that many still have at least a rifle or shotgun in their home.
Having had three separate bears in my yard just a few days ago, I understand this intimately.

I'm more surprised by this data as the last set that I saw must have included the entire population and not just over 21/eligible for LTCF. The last data that I saw showed 1:9 for Potter. This data is MUCH, MUCH better!
