This popped up on Facebook and I thought FReepers would like it. The data appears to come from city-data.com but I have no idea how they got the info.

"...no idea how they got the info."
That is troubling.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the county I grew up in, Douglas County, NE, and Sarpy County, which adjoins it, in this list.

Probably came from ffl sales records, no?
By the by the third place county, Nez Perce, is in Idaho, not Arizona. It’s where they make Gold Dot ammo, among other products.
Thanks for the chart!

Awesome, Sedgwick county KS.

This is total BS. First, and we need go no further, gun owners today won't answer questions of this nature. They believe that when questions arise from the anti-gun buttheads in the cities that it is none of their damn business and nothing more than a cheap setup question.
I think it is much worse than that but this is a good lesson in how to create a lie and then push it as fact. If you missed that let me clarify it.
The people who put this together are bold faced liars with a political agenda of being against guns and for as much gun control as then can get.

Texas would be a lot higher if they just ranked it by number of guns and gun owners. Not percentage of owners.

I doubt those numbers. There are areas in MI that everyone has guns, it is rare for someone not to have any.
Of those over 18, I doubt more than 25-30% are gunless.

Given many places have no registration requirements and the background checks are not supposed to be in any database, how accurate could this be?

This just counts legal gun owners.
If you count criminals with guns the map would look quite a bit different.

Vermont has four counties on the list. Many don’t realize that VT has the best gun laws in the country.

I’m wondering how they got their info. Our county is pretty high on the list. we have only one (concealed carry) registered. Lost count of how many we lost when our boat was swamped..........
To: Straight Vermonter
Data is probably BS, but I bet a good guess might come from wills and property sales/transfers that happen at death.
I’d be shocked if the household gun ownership rate in small population counties (especially in the West) wasn’t close to 90%.

this chart is cr@p. In the emergency room I’d say 90% of the doctors own weapons, 80% of the nurses own pistols and over 50% hunt or have husbands that hunt. Just from random conversations with parents on volleyball team, tennis team, track team MOST of the parents have firearms and I’m positive that there are some neighborhoods in rural Texas that 100% of the households have a firearm of some sort.

I think the only reason #86 Pima County, AZ is in the top 100 is because my son lives in the Catalina Foothills. LOL!
