Graniteer 10 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 48, New York Population: 19,541,453 NICS background checks per 100,000 residents: 3,047 okay, now take into account I bought 4 guns in the last year... Just think, you walk by 100 people on the street, and you're better armed than all of them. That's nothing to sneeze at. It's nice to know that NH is the best represented in New England. Hope to add to that soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Wow, Texas's poor showing surprises me!! Thanx man In Texas, it is not required to use a Nics check for a gun sale. I assume there are more than reported by a large degree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Also, this survey would be skewed by the number of CHL holders in any state, who do not have their names/purchases presented for background checks. More CHL's=fewer NICS checks. JMHO.. guido Wow, Texas's poor showing surprises me!! Thanx man In Texas, it is not required to use a Nics check for a gun sale.

scoutjoe 276 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 PA is a whole lot better armed than that, we just can't afford to go crazy and buy that many new guns in a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cooger 19 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I like that All of Kentucky is armed and 34% have a backup weapon.... (KY per 100,000 Residents - 134,000 Background Checks) Now I believe it is supposed to be 34,000 but it's not what it says. 134,000 background checks for every 100,000 people. NICE. Most of us have back-ups for our back-ups.....and back-ups for those back-ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaxon_182 44 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeah, I bet VT is higher up the list than its ranked here. You can do face to face sales easily, no CCW exists, you can just carry. I'm sure VT is packing major heat. As for CT ranking #19, shit, that's probably my fault. Without me it would be down around 40 I love that about AK and VT, no need for a CCW permit. I've been adding to AK's total. I just picked up an x39 Saiga a month ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clifton 354 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wow, Texas's poor showing surprises me!! Thanx man Na Man,, , Texas is already armed... all the other states are just trying to catch up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
