FYI...As of 3-30-10 permit holders number 7,368 statewide.

<< < (2/6) > >>

kruegster:
I think that now that the weather is getting better it will help.
a friend of mine just went in Monday to get fingerprinted, etc and the state patrol CID person told him that they were getting a lot busier with them.

sjwsti:
Now how do I convince these 7,000 plus permit holders that it is in their best interest to pursue advanced training? Preferably with me  ;)

Florida 600,000 out of 18,500,000 = 3.24%
Virginia 214,000 out of 7,800,000 = 2.74%
Nebraska 7400 out of 1,800,000 = .41%

So we are way behind per capita, but then again we are still pretty new to the program.

Those are interesting stats, thanks for posting them. Of course you're right, along with some other reasons posted, Neb is new to CCW. Florida for instance has had it in place for over 20yrs. I hope it continues to grow and the regs are vastly improved/relaxed to the point a significant % of the population is carrying.

Yes but compared to WI & IL, we are way ahead.  There is always a brighter side. ;-)

I am actually encouraged by these numbers.  In a state where crime is not all that big an issue, or where the militia has not taken hold, to have that large a percentage of folks willing to go through the expense and time to get a CCW is amazing.  You get outside of Omaha or Lincoln and the crime rate drops off the edge of the map.
