RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS: Self-protection was cited as the main reason why.
Twice the number of Americans were carrying handguns daily in 2019 compared to 2015, according to a new study published this month.
The upward trend found in the study comes as states loosen restrictions for carrying a handgun and more gun owners cite protection as a top concern. The authors wrote,"This ruling could further catalyze the loosening of firearm-carrying regulations in different parts of the country at a time when, as our study indicates, trends in handgun carrying already point to more US adults carrying loaded handguns in public places, including without a permit when a permit is required.
The study authors said a June U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning restrictive gun-carrying laws in New York could "catalyze the loosening of firearm-carrying regulations in different parts of the country." The study’s lead authors were Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, an epidemiology professor at the University of Washington; Amy Gallagher of the University of Washington; Deborah Azrael of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center; and Matthew Miller from Northeastern University, and the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. The authors added,"Little is known about the frequency and features of firearm carrying among adult handgun owners in the United States.
Only one state allowed permit less handgun carry in 1990 but by 2021 it had increased to 21 states, according to the study.
