200,000+ licenses issued in 2021

95,000 new licenses and 105,000 renewals in 2021. Not bad for critics who said we'd never have more than about 50,000 ever get licenses. In the last ten years alone, nearly 800,000 licenses were issued.

I went through the report and added up all of the newly issued licenses and license renewals for the past 5 years, and came up with just over 800,000 active licenses.

Overall population of Ohio is like 11.5 million or so. Of those, my rough guess is that around 8 million would be over 21 and eligible to legally carry. So 800,000 right around 10%.

Don't nail me to those numbers, haven't checked for a couple years.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
