You can bet that the Actual Numbers are at least Double!
Yep, I'd have to agree with this and besides the numbers it's WHAT we own.....Well I'd have some if they hadn't fallen in a lake during a boating accident!!!

Yeah it's probably simply indicative of gun attitudes in the states. Heck, Mississippi is probably overstated because some people are too ashamed to admit they DON'T have a gun (Mississippi's State Motto is Virtue et Armis - by Valor and Arms)

But Texas has a reputation to uphold after all! You wouldn't Texicans would be shy about owning up to having a gun in the house. Houston is probably skewing the numbers.

Maybe the only thing the survey shows is that states with mainly rural populations have a higher percentage of gun ownership (or a higher percentage willing to admit to gun ownership) than states with big cities. DUH!

Yeah, don't you hate those boating accidents! That deep water, all that mud, can't find any of em!
Also bad when you're down and out, and sell em all at a Gun Show to a guy with 2 id's showing He isn't a Felon.

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson

Hmm, only 21.7% or about 1 out 5 for California! 'Ranked close to the bottom! But wait! With population of ~38 millions; that's like over 8 millions gun owners!

Oh well! Minor details!
