Over 7% of Adult Wisconsinites Have CCW

It’s nice to see people exercising their rights.

Wisconsin has an adult population (21 or over) of about 4.4 million. Roughly 1 out of every 16 Wisconsin adult residents now has a concealed carry permit.

There was one manslaughter homicide by a citizen with a permit — who claimed self defense, but was convicted by a jury– in the last four years. That translates into a homicide rate for permit holders of about .22 homicides per 100/000 people per year. That’s less than 1/13 of the homicide rate for Wisconsin on average.

Hopefully Wisconsin can advance constitutional carry so that these kinds of milestones become meaningless.
