Stampede Continues

And not just for ammo, but also for concealed carry licenses in Ohio.

The 16,323 regular licenses issues was a whopping 139% increase over the same period a year earlier and was the second quarter in a row that demand more than doubled compared with the prior year.

Over 326 people per work-day picked up a CHL. That's state wide, I believe.

It is estimated that there are now over 142,000 Ohio citizens licensed to carry handguns.

And we're such evil people that carry guns, but . . While no large group of people are perfect, the CHL-holder has proven to be considerably more law-abiding than the population at large.

Now I wonder what the state population happens to be, so I can calculate the percentage.
. . . . .
I just looked it up. The population of Ohio is about 11,500,000. So only 1.2% have a concealed carry license. That's a little over 1 in every 100 people, for the mathematically challenged.

No wonder "blood in the streets" never has happened as predicted. There's not enough of us carrying. Hey fellow Ohioans, you need to step up the pace, . . . you know.
