Do you see any of your local counties listed...!?

Sadly, no, Shooter. I would have thought Florida would have at least one county listed. Guess I have to work harder. With so many out-of-state, big city transplants here it is a tall order indeed, and I'm only one of very few genuine Florida Crackers around here. I see that Louisiana was very well represented with seven counties. Bravo!

Interesting stats. I wonder how accurate they are. If someone called me and started asking about how many guns I owned I would have to tell them that I needed their home address so that we could discuss it further.

Excellent point, Mike. I'd also be VERY suspicious of folks polling me for firearms data. As regards accuracy, I'm thinking that, if anything, the numbers are low because of citizens' privacy concerns. Just a thought.

Much probably comes from public records. Another reason registration is bad.

Yea...don't know who took this poll or how they came by these numbers...!!
