Likewise, since 2020, the number of Americans with concealed carry permits jumped by 10.5%. Amid COVID, violent leftist riots during summer 2020, and the uncertainty of the 2020 presidential election, many people went out and bought firearms.
Right now, Alabama is the state in America with the most concealed carry permit holders; however, Indiana comes in second, with Iowa coming in third place.
Meanwhile, Texas recently made it legal for state residents to open carry firearms without the necessity for any license or permit. A similar law could pass in Florida; that’s assuming legislation submitted by Republican Rep. Anthony Sabatini passes.

The gun control lobby has long had it out for concealed carry permits and the Americans holding them.
Those with an outright anti-gun agenda argue that carrying concealed poses a threat to public safety; however, concealed carry permit holders are actually significantly less likely to commit crimes than people who lack these permits.
