More and more people are applying for and receiving concealed carry weapon permits (CCW). In fact, a 2014 study by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that more than 11.1 million Americans now have CCW permits, up from 4.6 million only seven years ago.
On top of that, the number of people who carry concealed guns in this nation is even greater than that, because at least five states didn’t require CCW permits in 2014.
