Number of Americans That Carry Concealed Continues To Rise

The Crime Prevention Research Center reports: "New Survey on the Rate that People Carry Concealed Handguns: Percent of Americans Carrying Continues to Increase from 24.3% in December 2024 to 29.8% in May 2026 to 30.9% in July 2026." Note that this is not a general population survey, but a survey of likely voters.

In the survey, 15.7% carry all/most of the time, with another 15.2% carrying sometimes/rarely. The percent who carry all or most the time increased from 13.0% in December 2024 to 13.2% in May 2026 to 15.7% in July 2026. But total percent who care increased from 24.3% in December 2024 to 29.8% in May 2026 to 30.9% in July 2026.  

Or, from the other side of the coin, the number of people that never carry a concealed handgun decline from 73.0% in December 2024 to 66.6% in July 2026.
