Total Number of Conceal Licenses in Ohio

Post by Flounder »

Has anyone found anything showing the total number of Ohioans with a concealed carry license?

I read the articles showing the amounts issued last year but have yet to see the current running total, the AG's site only seems to have it broken down in their reports.

Just curiosity... does anyone have that info at hand without doing some serious digging?

Thanks!

AlanM keeps a more or less official tally, but adding up the past 5 years' of new issues & renewals, and subtracting out revocations, it's just over 600,000 Ohioans with active CHLs.

Google says there are 11,353,140 adults in Ohio.

At 600K with CHL's, that would be about one in nineteen.
"The right to keep and bear arms is rooted in both self-defense and insurance against government’s propensity toward tyranny. The right pre-existed the Constitution. Thus, the Second Amendment is not its source. The right to keep and bear arms is natural and inalienable; the Second Amendment protects it, and Congress has no legitimate power to restrict it." - Senator John Cornyn (R., Tex.), as reported in the National Review on July 4, 2016

Yeah but that includes non-adults.

That pic is from 2014 census data. Let's call it an even 9 million.

What does that translate to? 600,000 / 9,000,000 = 0.0666666... 1/15 = 0.0666666...

Roughly 1 in 15 adult Ohioans have a CHL.

I tried breaking the numbers down to how many of that total adult population are legally eligible to get a CHL but it was not as easy to find as much other census data is.

All the above stats came from the crimesearch.org link. Indiana December numbers (if thats what your referring) are under the UPDATE heading, scroll about 1/4 down the page. (before the comments)

Interesting site

Those numbers also don't include law enforcement which don't need a CCL.

The number of CCLs in Illinois at the end of February 2016 was 223,637, this is after 3 years. Population of Illinois about 12 million 800 thousand. 63 to 67 percent 18 to 64. so maybe about 8 or 9 million in the 21 and up age group.
